RFC: patch for libibverbs

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Hi,

while setting up a devel box, I've tried to install sbuild, but thanks
to a huge chain of dependencies, it's not installable because of
schroot, mpi, etc. until libibverbs. For that one, I've written the
attached patch, but it sounds like suboptimal to me. I guess there might
be a better way to express those types. Maybe using the types I've
defined everywhere in the sources, instead of the “linuxisms” (I'd
assume they are) that are currently used?

I'm going to file a bug against that package with that current patch and
eventually open a minor bug later if someone points me to a better
approach.

Thanks for your time.

Mraw,
KiBi.
