Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

actually care if opal_pointer_array is limited to handle_max already passes
that in as the max_size during init, so don't need it there. The arch
constant was a bit more difficult, so pass that in during MPI init and
leave empty otherwise.
This is to help with the effort to allow building ompi against an external
opal or orte.

It appears the problem was not with the command line parser but the rsh plm. I don't know why this problem was not occuring before the command line parser changes but it appears to be resolved now.

opal_shmem_segment_create by testing whether or not the target mount has enough
space to accommodate the shared-memory backing store. Fixes trac:2827. Will work
with Shiqing to add Windows support (if required).

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 2827 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2827
"num_app_ctx" - the number of app_contexts in the job
"first_rank" - the MPI rank of the first process in each app_context
"np" - the number of procs in each app_context
Still need clarification on the MPI_Init portion of the ticket. Specifically, does the ticket call for returning an error is someone calls MPI_Init more than once in a program? We set a flag to tell us that we have been initialized, but currently never check it.

distinguish between unknown ''options'' (i.e., command line options
that are registered and have some meaning) and unknown ''tokens''
(i.e., strings that do not begin with "-"). Hence, if you did:
mpirun --fo my_mpi_program
(when perhaps you meant to type "--foo", mpirun would complain that no
such executable "--fo" existed. That is ''correct,'' but perhaps not
completely useful. It is more accurate for mpirun to report that
there is no such "--fo" option.
This change to cmd_line.c makes it so that we will ''always'' report
errors regarding tokens that begin with "-".

Roll in the ORTE state machine. Remove last traces of opal_sos. Remove UTK epoch code.
Please see the various emails about the state machine change for details. I'll send something out later with more info on the new arch.

* fixed some bugs where "unknown" tokens were allowed on the command
line (which should really only be used for ortertun).
* if an unknown token is encountered, print a short error to stderr
and quit with a nonzero exit status
* if we don't find the right number of parameters to an option, print
a short error to stderr and quit with a nonzero exit status
* when --help is given, print the help message to stdout (not stderr)
and quit with a zero exit status
* added --showme:help option to the wrapper compilers
* updated docs in opal/util/cmd_line.h
* other small/miscellaneous CLI parsing bugs in various tools
I won't bore you with what we did before. :-) Here's some examples
of what the new behavior looks like:
{{{
% ompi_info --bogus
ompi_info: Error: unknown option "--bogus"
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.
% ompi_info --param bogus
ompi_info: Error: option "--param" did not have enough parameters (2)
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.

to make MPI_IN_PLACE (and other sentinel Fortran constants) work on OS
X, we need to use the following compiler (linker) flag:
-Wl,-commons,use_dylibs
So if we're compiling on OS X, test to see if that flag works with the
compiler. If so, add it to the wrapper FFLAGS and FCFLAGS (note that
per a future update, we'll only have one Fortran compiler anyway).
Fixes trac:1982.

zeroes);
if so, use it for bit-operations like opal_cube_dim and opal_hibit.
Implement two versions of power-of-two.
In case of opal_next_poweroftwo, this reduces the average execution
time from 83 cycles to 4 cycles (Intel Nehalem, icc, -O2, inlining,
measured rdtsc, with loop over 2^27 values).
Numbers for other functions are similar (but of course heavily depend
on the usage, e.g. opal_hibit() with a start of 4 does not save
much). The bsr instruction on AMD Opteron is also not as fast.
- Replace various places where the next power-of-two is computed.
Tested on Intel Nehalem Cluster with openib, compilers GNU-4.6.1 and
Intel-12.0.4 using mpi_testsuite -t "Collective" with 128 processes.
