The ibv_cmd_* family of symbols are now considered private internal symbols only for use between libibverbs and the included plugin libraries. The decision was made to stop supporting providers outside of rdma-core, so the library SONAME only reflects the public facing ABI. I missed asking for this when the ibv_cmd_create_ah@IBVERBS_1.4 patch was merged, but before we release 13 we need to drop all the ibv_cmd_* entry points from the public headers so that nothing outside rdma-core can link to these symbols. AFAIK this is an accepted way to build a library that works with private loadable plugins.
