[ofa-general] mthca MR attrs userspace change

My kernel started complaining to me recently:

    ib_mthca 0000:02:00.0: Process 'tgtd' did not pass in MR attrs.
    ib_mthca 0000:02:00.0:   Update libmthca to fix this.

It comes from commit cb9fbc5c37b69ac584e61d449cfd590f5ae1f90d
("IB: expand ib_umem_get() prototype") and the fix in
baaad380c0aa955f7d62e846467316c94067f1a5 ("IB/mthca: Avoid changing
userspace ABI to handle DMA write barrier attribute").

Nice that everything still works with old userspace, but where is
the latest libmthca these days?  The one at kernel.org still has
ABI_VERSION 1:

    http://git.kernel.org/?p=libs/infiniband/libmthca.git;a=blob;f=src/mthca-abi.h;h=2557274e4cbd9f36df2be42379644d31b4ff5da3;hb=HEAD

By the way, Roland, your efforts at Fedora packaging are certainly
appreciated here.  If the new libmthca just showed up in updates to
F-9, that would be most convenient.
