> 
> Move mlx5 symbols in the map file to the INTERNAL section and add
> __internal tags to their definitions.
> Those symbols were exported in 20.02 and now (20.05) they are removed.
> Avoid ABI comparison issues between 20.05/20.08 and 20.02 by adding the
> suppress_file directive to libabigail.abignore file. This directive will
> prevent loading mlx5 common symbols and no comparison will be
> performed.
> 
> In addition move symbols from the EXPERIMENTAL section to the INTERNAL
> section.
