WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.
This commit was SVN r32317.
The logic was mishandling the case of a newer kernel and an older
libusnic_verbs. Simplify usnic_transport() to return constants in the
2 known cases (not a usNIC device and the TRANSPORT_USNIC_UDP case),
and call the magic probe in all other cases.

This commit was SVN r32260.
RHEL 7 has shipped with kernel support for the RDMA_TRANSPORT_USNIC
enum, but ''not'' the RDMA_TRANSPORT_USNIC_UDP enum. This means that
when you install usNIC drivers from cisco.com, the kernel will report
IBV_TRANSPORT_USNIC, even though the transport is actually using UDP.
Therefore, we have to modify the logic in common/verbs to do the
additional magic probe if the device reports either an
IBV_TRANSPORT_IWARP or IBV_TRANSPORT_USNIC (because both of those might
be lies -- do the probe to figure out the real transport).
The code changed by this patch is fairly trivial; it simply moves the
logic of the magic probe to its own short function, and then calls that
short function in both the IBV_TRANSPORT_(IWARP|USNIC) cases. It looks
longer because several lengthy comments were also updated.

Per Ralph :
"I noticed that we are incrementing and decrementing the opal_progress_event state.
However, this no longer has any impact whatsoever on the RML as that is running in
the independent ORTE event thread. So all this actually does is impact the MPI layer
by adding an unnecessary overhead."
Thanks Ralph for pointing this :-)

top_ompi_builddir -> OMPI_TOP_BUILDDIR
We also split the srcdir/builddir flags according to their local tree (e.g., OPAL_TOP_SRCDIR), and tied them all together in configure.ac. Renamed ompi_ignore and ompi_unignore to be opal_<foo> as these are agnostic markers.
Only thing left is ompilibdir being treated similar to what we dif for srcdir/builddir. Coming soon.

* Older versions of libusnic_verbs actually return 0 when querying for
an unknown port. So also check for a magic ID in the returned data
to *really* know if the usnic extensions are supported.
* Use a union (in the common_verbs area) and memcpy (in the btl) to
avoid undefined C type aliasing behavior.
* Ensure to memset the function table to 0 if the usnic extensions
are not supported.

Check the IBV_TRANSPORT_* values. In the case of IBV_TRANSPORT_IWARP,
there's an ambiguity and we need to also check to see whether the
usnic verbs externsion probe exists.
This commit was SVN r30913.
This commit decouples OMPI deployment from the version(s) of the lower
layers of the stack by probing for UDP support.
Verbs applications assume a 40-byte header (there is no current
mechanism for querying payload offset). So to support a 42-byte UDP
header without causing existing applications like ibv_ud_pingpong or
older versions of OMPI to crash, we must inform libusnic_verbs that we
are aware of the nonstandard payload offset. We do this by overriding
the `transport_type` field of the device to be 42 before calling
`ibv_open_device`. If the library resets it to something else, then we
know the lower layers are UDP capable. Otherwise we use the older
custom-L2 format.
This necessitated some minor ugliness in common_verbs, but it's as tidy
as Jeff and I know how to make it right now.
This commit only adds support for UDP headers and connectivity over the
same L2 network, it does not touch routing or interface pairing.

To support the new mpool two changes were made to the mpool infrastructure:
1) Added an mpool flag to indicate that an mpool does not need the memory
hooks to use the leave pinned protocols. This flag is checked in the
mpool lookup.
2) Add a mpool context to the base registration. This new member is used
by the udreg mpool to store the udreg context associated with the
particular registration. The new member will not break the ABI
compatibility as the new member is only currently used by the udreg
mpool.
