WTF !?!

The extension mechanism is NOT A TOY.

IT IS NOT FOR VENDORS TO USE.

Extension ids must be allocated at upstream, by Roland.

If you deviate from upstream you *MUST* change the ibverbs SONAME.

PERIOD.

What version of OFA OFED did this? This is a violation of the new
upstream first policy at OFA!

So, I'm going to NAK this. It sets an exceedingly bad precedent going
forward.
