-[knem requested but not supported]
-WARNING: Linux kernel knem support was requested for the shared memory
-(sm) BTL, but it is not supported.  Deactivating the shared memory
-BTL.

-[knem permission denied]
-Open MPI failed to open the /dev/knem device due to a permissions
-problem.  Please check with your system administrator to get the
-permissions fixed, or set the btl_sm_use_knem MCA parameter to 0 to
-run without /dev/knem support.

-[knem fail open]
-Open MPI failed to open the /dev/knem device due to a local error.
-Please check with your system administrator to get the problem fixed,

-[knem get ABI fail]
-Open MPI failed to retrieve the ABI version from the /dev/knem device
-due to a local error.  This usually indicates an error in your
-/dev/knem installation; please check with your system administrator,
-or set the btl_sm_use_knem MCA parameter to 0 to run without /dev/knem
-support.

-#
-[knem ABI mismatch]
-Open MPI was compiled with support for one version of the knem kernel
-module, but it discovered a different version running in /dev/knem.
-Open MPI needs to be installed with support for the same version of
-knem as is in the running Linux kernel.  Please check with your system
-administrator, or set the btl_sm_use_knem MCA parameter to 0 to run
-without /dev/knem support.

-[knem mmap fail]
-Open MPI failed to map support from the knem Linux kernel module; this
-shouldn't happen.  Please check with your system administrator, or set
-the btl_sm_use_knem MCA parameter to 0 to run without /dev/knem support.
