[openib-general] [PATCH] update libipathverbs library to the new initialization method

Looks OK but you're now only compatible with unreleased development
versions of libibverbs -- this won't work against the stable
libibverbs 1.0 code shipped with Fedora and Debian for example.

You might want to follow the approach libmthca uses to build against
both libibverbs 1.0 and also pre-1.1 development code.

Glad you're going to test, but why do you need this patch?  Couldn't
you just have put a new kernel onto a system with libibverbs 1.0 and
the old libipathverbs?
