How about requiring a newer version of glib for HEAD instead?

GLib 2.22 was released in September 2009, so 2.22 or later might be a
reasonable expectation by the time we make the next major release. If we
do make 2.22 the minimum version we can remove the same check + code
from packet-infiniband.c.

Or even 2.24, which is what Debian old stable provides.

If we do 2.24 we lose support RHEL/CentOS 6:

For that reason I'd vote for 2.22 instead.
