Nothing critical, but since libocxl is fairly new, it's evolving quite
fast. If there's still time, we'd like to upgrade it, so that it's
closer to the latest on github.

Here is the changlog for the 1.1 release (the first item is what we really care 
about):
- Add support for POWER9 wake_host_thread/wait (requires a compiler with GNU 
extensions for inline assembler)
- Generate warnings on ignored return values
- Use opaque structs rather than void pointers for ocxl handles (this should be 
transparent to callers)
- Verified GCC 4-8 & Clang 3.6.2-6.0.1 produce correct machine code for 
OpenCAPI, and whitelisted them
- Verify & enforce that we compile with strict ANSI C (2011)
