- the registration array is now global instead of one by BTL.
- each framework have to declare the entries in the registration array reserved. Then
it have to define the internal way of sharing (or not) these entries between all
components. As an example, the PML will not share as there is only one active PML
at any moment, while the BTLs will have to. The tag is 8 bits long, the first 3
are reserved for the framework while the remaining 5 are use internally by each
framework.
- The registration function is optional. If a BTL do not provide such function,
nothing happens. However, in the case where such function is provided in the BTL
structure, it will be called by the BML, when a tag is registered.
Now, it's time for the second step... Converting OB1 from a switch based PML to an
active message one.

This is required to tighten up the BTL semantics. Ordering is not guaranteed,
but, if the BTL returns a order tag in a descriptor (other than
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER) then we may request another descriptor that will obey
ordering w.r.t. to the other descriptor.
This will allow sane behavior for RDMA networks, where local completion of an
RDMA operation on the active side does not imply remote completion on the
passive side. If we send a FIN message after local completion and the FIN is
not ordered w.r.t. the RDMA operation then badness may occur as the passive
side may now try to deregister the memory and the RDMA operation may still be
pending on the passive side.
Note that this has no impact on networks that don't suffer from this
limitation as the ORDER tag can simply always be specified as
MCA_BTL_NO_ORDER.

fix (r14749) and then backed it out (r14753).
As we are unable to send more than a 32 bits length over TCP in one go, there
is no reason to have an uint64 length in the header. This reduce the size
of the TCP header.

We eagerly send data up to btl_*_eager_limit with the match
Upon ACK of the MATCH we start using send/receives of size
btl_*_max_send_size up to the btl_*_rdma_pipeline_offset
After the btl_*_rdma_pipeline_offset we begin using RDMA writes of
size btl_*_rdma_pipeline_frag_size.
Now, on a per message basis we only use the above protocol if the
message is larger than btl_*_min_rdma_pipeline_size
btl_*_eager_limit - > same
btl_*_max_send_size -> same
btl_*_rdma_pipeline_offset -> btl_*_min_rdma_size
btl_*_rdma_pipeline_frag_size -> btl_*_max_rdma_size
btl_*_min_rdma_pipeline_size is new..
This patch also moves all BTL common parameters initialisation into
btl_base_mca.c file.

during the IPv6 patch. The most important is the multi BTL support. There
was a quite interesting bug. Instead of setting up the multiple connections
over different physical devices, based on the time when these connections
were created most of the time they were all using the same physical network.
Which, of course, was not the intended goal, as we top at the maximum
bandwidth available over one device instead of gathering all available
bandwidth from all devices.
Second, the IPv6 RFC suggest to use sockaddr_storage as a holder for the
IP information, but use a sockaddr* when we pass it to functions. This is
only partially corrected by this patch.
Some other minor cleanups.

Fix for memory corruption in the restarted process stack. This stemed from
the brute force method we were previously using. This commit fixes this by
using a lighter weight solution focused in the r2 BML instead of above the PML.
This is a more efficient and flexible solution, and it solves the original
problem.
In the process I pulled out the ft_event function in the tcp BTL and r2 BML
into a set of *_ft.[c|h] files just to keep any updates to these code paths
as isolated as possible to make merging easier on everyone.

computation of the current location on the pack/unpack process. This can
be used both for retrieving the pointer to the first byte (in the special
case of the cached RDMA protocol) and for getting the current
position (for the pipelined protocol).
I modified all BTLs, but most of them are still untested.

latency is high and the network relatively fast. This will allow for more kernel
level buffering, which allow overlap between system calls and communications.
Somehow, even on fast clusters there is an improvement (non significant).
This patch create multiple modules for the same device, which in turn will
create multiple sockets between the peers. By default the number of BTL by
device is set to 1, so there is no fundamental difference with the current
version. Change the value of btl_tcp_links to enable multiple links between
peers.

* Make sure that the pval always writes to the correct portion of the
lval. This only matters on 32 bit big endian machines.
* On 32 bit machines when assigning to pval, the other 4 bytes of lval
weren't being written, which could lead to bogus data
We use macros so that there aren't casts all over the code and the pval
assignment can occur to the correct 4 bytes. Refs trac:587

the same time, remove some of the MPI-related options from OPAL:
- provide mechanism to change at runtime whether sched_yield() should
be called when the progress engine is idle
- provide mechanism for changing the rate at which the event engine
is called when there are "no" users of the event engine (ie, when
using MPI but not TCP)
- fix some function names in the progress engine to better match
their intended use (and remove MPI naming scheme)
- remove progress_mpi_enable / progress_mpi_disable because
we can now use the functions to set the sched_yield and
tick rate interfaces
- rename opal_progress_events() to opal_progress_set_event_flag()
because the first really isn't descriptive of what the function
does and I always got confused by it

allocation logic is completely done outside the data-type engine (in the PML) there is
no need for any special case inside the data-type engine. There is less arguments for
the ompi_convertor_pack and ompi_convertor_unpack as well (the last field free_after is
not required anymore as there is no memory allocated in the engine itself). This change
affect all components using datatypes. I test most of them, but it might happens that I
miss some ... If it's the case please let me know (don't shoot the pianist!!).

- moved hton64 and ntoh64 from the bunch of places it had been copied
into one header file
- properly set and use the btl_tcp's nbo option to put things in
network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have the same
endianness
- Put the OB1 PML's headers (with a couple exceptions I need to discuss
with Tim) in network byte order on the wire if both sides don't have
the same endianness
- since it was needed for the TCP BTL, move the orte_process_name_t
HTON and NTOH macros from the TCP OOB to ns_types.h
