 * Byte Transfer Layer (BTL)
 *
 *
 * BTL Initialization:
 *
 * During library initialization, all available BTL components are
 * loaded and opened via their mca_base_open_component_fn_t
 * function. The BTL open function should register any mca parameters
 * used to tune/adjust the behaviour of the BTL (mca_base_param_register_int(),
 * mca_base_param_register_string()). Note that the open function may fail
 * if the resources (e.g. shared libraries, etc) required by the network
 * transport are not available.
 *
 * The mca_btl_base_component_init_fn_t() is then called for each of the
 * components that are succesfully opened. The component init function may
 * return either:
 *
 * (1) a NULL list of BTL modules if the transport is not available,
 * (2) a list containing a one or more single BTL modules, where the BTL provides
 *     a layer of abstraction over one or more physical devices (e.g. NICs),
 *
 * During module initialization, the module should post any addressing
 * information required by its peers. An example would be the TCP
 * listen port opened by the TCP module for incoming connection
 * requests. This information is published to peers via the
 * ompi_modex_send() interface. Note that peer information is not
 * guaranteed to be available via ompi_modex_recv() during the
 * module's init function. However, it will be available during
 * BTL selection (mca_btl_base_add_proc_fn_t()).
 *
 * BTL Selection:
 *
 * The upper layer builds an ordered list of the available BTL modules sorted
 * by their exclusivity ranking. This is a relative ranking that is used
 * to determine the set of BTLs that may be used to reach a given destination.
 * During startup the BTL modules are queried via their
 * mca_btl_base_add_proc_fn_t() to determine if they are able to reach
 * a given destination.  The BTL module with the highest ranking that
 * returns success is selected. Subsequent BTL modules are selected only
 * if they have the same exclusivity ranking.
 *
 * An example of how this might be used:
 *
 * BTL         Exclusivity   Comments
 * --------    -----------   ------------------
 * LO              100       Selected exclusively for local process
 * SM               50       Selected exclusively for other processes on host
 * IB                0       Selected based on network reachability
 * IB                0       Selected based on network reachability
 * TCP               0       Selected based on network reachability
 * TCP               0       Selected based on network reachability
 *
 * When mca_btl_base_add_proc_fn_t() is called on a  BTL module, the BTL 
 * will populate an OUT variable with mca_btl_base_endpoint_t pointers. 
 * Each pointer is treated as an opaque handle by the upper layer and is
 * returned to the BTL on subsequent data transfer calls to the
 * corresponding destination process.  The actual contents of the
 * data structure are defined on a per BTL basis, and may be used to
 * cache addressing or connection information, such as a TCP socket
 * or IB queue pair.
 *
 * Progress:
 *
 * By default, the library provides for polling based progress of outstanding
 * requests. The BTL component exports an interface function (btl_progress)
 * that is called in a polling mode by the PML during calls into the MPI
 * library. Note that the btl_progress() function is called on the BTL component
 * rather than each BTL module. This implies that the BTL author is responsible
 * for iterating over the pending operations in each of the BTL modules associated
 * with the component.
 *
 * On platforms where threading support is provided, the library provides the
 * option of building with asynchronous threaded progress. In this case, the BTL
 * author is responsible for providing a thread to progress pending operations.
 * A thread is associated with the BTL component/module such that transport specific
 * functionality/APIs may be used to block the thread until a pending operation
 * completes. This thread MUST NOT poll for completion as this would oversubscribe
 * the CPU.
 *
 * Note that in the threaded case the PML may choose to use a hybrid approach,
 * such that polling is implemented from the user thread for a fixed number of
 * cycles before relying on the background thread(s) to complete requests. If
 * possible the BTL should support the use of both modes concurrently.
