libsysfs headers are required for libibverbs v1.0 (i.e., OFED 1.0 and
OFED 1.1), meaning that <infiniband/verbs.h> would #include
<sysfs/libsysfs.h>. Hence, if the libsysfs headers did not exist on a
system, including <verbs.h> would fail.
With older versions of Autoconf, we would simply test for the
''presence'' of the <infinband/verbs.h> and not actually try to
''use'' it. This could leave OMPI in a weird situation on systems
that did not have the sysfs headers installed: configure would
complete successfully, but the build of the openib btl would fail.
Some users complained, thinking that there was a real compile error in
the OMPI code base.
Hence, we decided that it would be better to AC_CHECK_HEADER for the
sysfs header files in configure. If the sysfs header files were not
found, configure would abort. Users generally understand when
configure aborts, and know how to read the output and fix the
underlying problem; it was ''much'' more obvious than having the OMPI
build fail for nebulous reasons much later.
Note that we also checked for / added -lsysfs, but that wasn't
necessary because libibverbs already run-time linked to it (i.e.,
libibverbs couldn't have been installed if the sysfs libraries weren't
installed).
However, there are now two reasons why the check for sysfs's header
files is no longer necessary:
* Newer versions of Autoconf are now used for OMPI tarballs that
check for both the presence '''and''' usability of header files.
Hence, AC_CHECK_HEADER for <infiniband/verbs.h> will actually try
to ''use'' it, so if the sysfs header files are not installed,
AC_CHECK_HEADER will (rightfully) fail.
* libibverbs v1.1 (i.e., OFED 1.2 and beyond) does not require
libsysfs at all (headers or libraries).
When checking for the sysfs header files, OMPI's configure ''forces''
you to have sysfs installed, even though it may not be needed (e.g.,
libibverbs v1.1 and beyond). Clearly, this is not good (especially
since the sysfs software package is now deprecated, and some Linux
distros no longer install it by default).
So this commit simply removes the check for the sysfs header files and
libraries, allowing OMPI to be build on systems with libibverbs >=1.1 that
do not have sysfs installed.
For systems with libibverbs 1.0, if they do not have the sysfs headers
installed, we'll still fail AC_CHECK_HEADER and therefore still fail
configure properly. I expanded the warning message to say that if
libibverbs 1.0 is being used, check to ensure that sysfs is installed,
yadda yadda yadda.

The following Trac tickets were found above:

have the SRQ interface.
* Instead of setting AC_DEFINEs per MCA component, set per test. THe
answers can never be difference, and this will speed sed just a teeny
bit
This commit was SVN r14856.
* Remove duplicate calls to ompi_check_package by poking at the
internals just a bit. Possibly should make those officially
exposed, but whatever.
* Don't build OpenIB with PTMalloc2 and no thread support, as
this will always lead to badness.
* minor formatting cleanups

finally brings in functionality that is already on the 1.2 branch, and
was developed and tested in the v1.2ofed branch (and other places).
Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by
querying the HCA port
* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore
fixing the harmless warnings noted in #665
* Bunches of updates to the Linux RPM spec file
I.e., effectively the same thing that r14411 brought to the v1.2
branch.
Also effectively brought in r14432 and r14433 (some fixes on top of
the original r14411 commit to v1.2). Still need to bring in the moral
equivalent of r14445 after this commit (fixes to installdirs).
This commit was SVN r14449.

cq_size is too small (based on number of peers).

support for progress threads, so we shouldn't build them or try to use
them when support for progress threads has been requested. The TCP, GM,
SELF, and SM BTLs should have progress thread support, so they aren't
disabled. The Portals BTL isn't compiled on platforms with threads,
so it doens't need to be updated.
This commit was SVN r10156.
* Make sure --without-BTL works for all BTLs
* Fix copy-n-paste error in aix timer configrue help string
This should go to the v1.0 branch
This commit was SVN r8554.
Try to detect which form this version of Open IB uses, defaulting to the 5
version if we can't figure it out (the new version has 5 params)
* Only add -lcm if it exists on the system - some versions of Open IB
apparently don't need it.
