OK, I was planning on postponing them until libibverbs 1.2.

I will include the basic API but no implementation for this so that we
have a chance at including it in a future release of libibverbs 1.1
without breaking API or ABI.

 >                + libibverbs 1.0 to be included as well

I believe I have a way to make libibverbs 1.1 binary-compatible with
applications (but not drivers) built against libibverbs 1.0.  So it
will probably not be necessary to include libibverbs 1.0.
