These two macros set the MCA prefix and MCA cmd line id,
respectively. Specifically, MCA parameters will be named
PREFIX<foo> in the environment, and the cmd line will use
-ID foo bar.
These macros must be called during configure.ac and a value
supplied. In the case of Open MPI, the values given are
PREFIX=OMPI_MCA_ and ID=mca.
Other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
their own unique values. For example, ORCM uses PREFIX=ORCM_MCA_
and ID=omca
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running OMPI applications under ORCM, we need the MCA params passed
to the ORCM daemons to be separated from those recognized by the OMPI application.
These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
the OPAL and ORTE libraries. This is required by projects such as ORCM
that have their own ORTE and OPAL libraries in order to avoid library
confusion. By renaming their version of the libraries, the OMPI
applications can correctly dynamically load the correct one for their
build."
This reverts commit 63f619f871.
So add a new function for wrapping MCA arguments, and tell the backend parser to ignore/remove leading/trailing quotes.

WHAT: Merge the PMIx branch into the devel repo, creating a new
OPAL “lmix” framework to abstract PMI support for all RTEs.
Replace the ORTE daemon-level collectives with a new PMIx
server and update the ORTE grpcomm framework to support
server-to-server collectives
WHY: We’ve had problems dealing with variations in PMI implementations,
and need to extend the existing PMI definitions to meet exascale
requirements.
WHEN: Mon, Aug 25
WHERE: https://github.com/rhc54/ompi-svn-mirror.git
Several community members have been working on a refactoring of the current PMI support within OMPI. Although the APIs are common, Slurm and Cray implement a different range of capabilities, and package them differently. For example, Cray provides an integrated PMI-1/2 library, while Slurm separates the two and requires the user to specify the one to be used at runtime. In addition, several bugs in the Slurm implementations have caused problems requiring extra coding.
All this has led to a slew of #if’s in the PMI code and bugs when the corner-case logic for one implementation accidentally traps the other. Extending this support to other implementations would have increased this complexity to an unacceptable level.
Accordingly, we have:
* created a new OPAL “pmix” framework to abstract the PMI support, with separate components for Cray, Slurm PMI-1, and Slurm PMI-2 implementations.
* Replaced the current ORTE grpcomm daemon-based collective operation with an integrated PMIx server, and updated the grpcomm APIs to provide more flexible, multi-algorithm support for collective operations. At this time, only the xcast and allgather operations are supported.
* Replaced the current global collective id with a signature based on the names of the participating procs. The allows an unlimited number of collectives to be executed by any group of processes, subject to the requirement that only one collective can be active at a time for a unique combination of procs. Note that a proc can be involved in any number of simultaneous collectives - it is the specific combination of procs that is subject to the constraint
* removed the prior OMPI/OPAL modex code
* added new macros for executing modex send/recv to simplify use of the new APIs. The send macros allow the caller to specify whether or not the BTL supports async modex operations - if so, then the non-blocking “fence” operation is used, if the active PMIx component supports it. Otherwise, the default is a full blocking modex exchange as we currently perform.
* retained the current flag that directs us to use a blocking fence operation, but only to retrieve data upon demand

Rever r32246, r32254, and 32255 -- they were fixing side-effects of
the real bug. Real fix coming after this one.

mpirun ... -x env_foo1=val1 -x env_foo2 -x env_foo3=val3 should now be expressed as
mpirun ... -mca mca_base_env_list env_foo1=val1+env_foo2+env_foo3=val3.
The motivation for doing this is so that a list of environment variables may be set via standard MCA mechanisms such as mca parameter files, amca lists, etc.

Revamp the ORTE global data structures to reduce memory footprint and add new features. Add ability to control/set cpu frequency, though this can only be done if the sys admin has setup the system to support it (or you run as root).

Revamp the opal database framework, including renaming it to "dstore" to reflect that it isn't a "database". Move the "db" framework to ORTE for now, soon to move to ORCM
This commit was SVN r31557.
Paul Hargrove pointed out that Stevens tells us that we should
FD_GETFL before FD_SETFL. And so we shall.
Make a new convenience function to do this (opal_fd_set_cloexec()),
just so that we don't have to litter this 2-step process throughout
the code.

Make sure the debugger attach fifo is marked as close-on-exec so that
children procs don't inherit it. For example, if you salloc a SLURM
allocation and run "mpirun ..." in there (i.e., mpirun is running on
the head node, and launching on to back-end nodes), the forked srun's
will inherit this fd if it is still open.

this default behavior.
