Isn't it just a matter of adding this bit:

/*
 *  * Export the old libsysfs sysfs_class_device-based driver entry point
 *   if libsysfs headers are installed.  It doesn't hurt to export it,
 *   even if libibverbs is new enough not to use it; but if libsysfs
 *   headers are not installed, we can assume that the version of
 *   libibverbs we are building against is new enough not to use
 *   openib_driver_init().
 *  */
#ifdef HAVE_SYSFS_LIBSYSFS_H
struct ibv_device *openib_driver_init(struct sysfs_class_device *sysdev)
{
        int abi_ver = 0;
        char value[8];

        if (ibv_read_sysfs_file(sysdev->path, "abi_version",
                                value, sizeof value) > 0)
                abi_ver = strtol(value, NULL, 10);

        return ibv_driver_init(sysdev->path, abi_ver);
}
#endif /* HAVE_SYSFS_LIBSYSFS_H */

IMO you need it even on trunk.
