No.  The same userspace build should work with all kernel versions.

We did have some ABI churn early in the history of the RDMA stack --
the last time we changed IB_USER_VERBS_ABI_VERSION was early
in 2006.  But we really need to add XRC and other support in such a
way that such ABI bumps are not necessary.
