Once you create a new linkable symbol you may as well un-inline the
bulk of this emulation..
I don't think this has any place in upstream though, the number of
users of XRC seems too tiny to carry this forever.

You could go like:
verbs.h:
#define ibv_send_wr _real_ibv_send_wr
// rest of verbs.h
#undef ibv_send_wr
#include "ofed-verbs.h"
ofed-verbs.h:
struct ibv_send_wr
{
// ofa version
}
Then you don't need the #define to get to the correct version.
