Now that I try to implement it, I remember why an inline is

it doesn't require any build-time/run-time dependency unless you

build time and runtime. Distro packages will have to depend on
libibverbs, and we'll get lots of complaints. Same for linux-libnuma.h
and maybe nvidia cuda one day :) So we'll probably end up splitting
this
code out of libhwloc.so and make a libhwloc-openfabrics-verbs.so.
Ah, good reason. Let's leave it as inline for 0.9.1, then. But we do
need to fix the topology parameter, sorry. :-(
Should we make a dlopen-like functionality for this kind of stuff for
v1.0? It's not hard to do with libltdl.
