I am fine with the current approach but please add the above to the commit log 
for the libibverbs commit. Something like

"libibverbs is now part of rdma-core and the standalone libibverbs project has 
been deprecated. Rough testing shows that we can move to use rdma-core however 
we have yet to perform extensive testing with this change. We therefor will 
continue to use the standalone libibverbs at this point in time. This is also 
inline with the upstream glusterfs project that still lists libibverbs as a 
dependency."
