By the way, I find it unsettling that the current libibverbs internal
ABI allows silent breakage like this that cannot be detected except at
runtime, and then only when the right hardware is present.

Mind you, I don't have any better suggestions in mind (at least not at
10:30pm).

But I worry about the possibility this leaves open for botched field
upgrades breaking userspace in you-don't-find-out-until-it's-too-late
ways when libibverbs 1.1 starts being used.
