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.

We ran into this exact bug in Libtool that was causing the C++
bindings library to be compiled incorrectly (therefore causing static
initializers to not fire properly when in a shared library, which is
the default installation configuration). Putting in some libtool
patches to fix the problem -- will be mailing the Libtool crowd
shortly to ask for a better fix...

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).

been fixed in the 7.0 PGI series, but is unlikely to be fixed in the
6.2 series:
* Add a configure test looking for the bad behavior (the PGI compiler
chokes on C code where structs containing bool's are copied by
value)
* Set OMPI_BOOL_STRUCT_COPY to 1 if it's ok, 0 if it's not (i.e., PGI
6.2 series will have this value set to 0)
* In two places in the code base -- orte-clean and btl_openib_ini.h,
we have a struct that contains a bool that is copied by value. In
these two places, check OMPI_BOOL_STRUCT_COPY and if it's 1, use
the "int" type instead of "bool".

protocol over the MX BTL. Now, we have only one matching, the one in Open
MPI.
The problem is that when the unexpected handler is triggered, not all the
message is on the host memory. In the best case we get one MX fragment (internal
MX fragment), in the worst we get NULL. The only way to fit this with the
design of the PML is to force the eager protocol at the MX internal fragment
size, and to limit the send/receive protocol at the same size. Tests show
the outcome is not far from optimal (if the pipeline depth is increased
a little bit).
Set MX_PIPELINE_LOG in order to allow MX to use internal fragments of 4K.
