The ibv_context structure will be getting additional ops,
to be added at the end of the structure (and not as part of
the existing ibv_context_ops structure).
Reason: ibv_context_ops is declared directly as a member of ibv_context,
and not as a pointer. Binaries compiled with previous libibverbs versions
will not be backwards compatible if we add new operations to ibv_context_ops,
since fields following the ops structure will move.
To enable adding new operations at the end of the existing ibv_context struct,
all driver libraries MUST zero their context structure at allocation time, so
that new ops will be NULL by default.
