The intention is that userspace can read the kernel's ABI version from
/sys/class/infiniband_mad/abi_version and compare it to the value of
IB_USER_MAD_ABI_VERSION that userspace was compiled with.  We just
need to be careful to increment the ABI version if we make any
incompatible changes to ib_user_mad.h.
