libibverbs currently looks symbol openib_driver_init.
You need to export that from your program, and if you do
it hook to that before scanning the plugin directory /usr/local/lib/infiniband

First, build mthca with --enable-static.
This will produce mthca.a in /usr/local/lib/infiniband

Now, link your program with this library, adding flags
-rdynamic -u openib_driver_init
