Since this workaround is needed in order to validate hot-plug with mlx4
compiled in debug mode due to a problem in Verbs, I don't think
stable at dpdk.org should be involved.
What will be back-ported, once fixed, is the minimum OFED version to install
to properly benefit from hot-plug functionality.

This approach looks way too intrusive. How about making the claim_zero()
definition not fail but still complain when compiled against a broken Verbs
version instead?
#include "mlx4_autoconf.h"
[...]
#ifndef HAVE_BROKEN_VERBS
#define claim_zero(...) assert((__VA_ARGS__) == 0)
#else /* HAVE_BROKEN_VERBS */
#define claim_zero(...) \
(void)(((__VA_ARGS__) == 0) || \
DEBUG("Assertion `" # __VA_ARGS__ "' failed (IGNORED)"))
#endif /* HAVE_BROKEN_VERBS */
You could use auto-config-h.sh to generate the HAVE_BROKEN_VERBS definition
in mlx4_autoconf.h (see mlx4 Makefile) based on some symbol, macro or type
that only exists or doesn't exist yet in problematic releases for instance.
