This should probably be some internal function and the exports should
be type safe just like the imports.

Yes, they need to be setup in cmake with aliases.

I think this man page is kind of terse for such a complicated
thing. 

Ie it doesn't talk about what happens when close() or ibv_destroy_X()
is called.
