I have done a pre-release of the upcoming libibverbs-1.2.0 release.  The
code has been pushed to the official git repo and also an -rc1 tarball
uploaded to the https://ww.openfabrics.org/downloads/verbs download
area.  From the tag message:

tag libibverbs-1.2.0-rc1

Ininitial roundup of 1.2.0 release items

- Add support for RoCE
- Add support for On Demand Paging
- No longer assume that no driver for a verbs device should be considered
  an error condition (usnic devices in particular are moving to libfabric
  drivers only, so we will emit a useless warning/error in the presence
  of usnic enabled machines)
- Harden some of the argument processing in example programs
- Add support for s390x
- Fix the broken create/destroy flow API
- First release under new management (hence the decision to update to
  version 1.2.0 instead of 1.1.9)

In particular, as this release fixes the create/destroy flow API, there
is a need for an updated libmlx4 sources in order to compile against the
fixed API (binary compatibility was maintained, but source compatibility
was not, so you will need the new libmlx4 to compile against the new
libibverbs).  Yishai, please post an updated libmlx4 head of repo and
preferably also a source tarball for libmlx4 when it's ready.
Preferably it would include an embedded check for the proper flow API in
your configure scripts.
