The intercomm "merge" function can create a linkage between procs that was not reflected anywhere in a modex, and so at least some of the procs in the resulting communicator don't know how to talk to some of the new communicator's peers.
For example, consider the case where:
1. parent job A comm_spawns a process (job B) - these processes exchange modex and can communicate
2. parent job A now comm_spawns another process (job C) - again, these can communicate, but the proc in C knows nothing of B
3. do an intercomm merge across the communicators created by the two comm_spawns. This puts B and C into the same communicator, but they know nothing about how to talk to each other as they were not involved in any exchange of contact info. Hence, collectives on that communicator now fail.
This fix adds an API to the ompi/dpm framework that (a) exchanges the modex info across the procs in the merge to ensure all procs know how to communicate, and (b) calls add_procs to give the btl's a chance to select transports to any new procs.

This patch reshape the way we deal with topologies completely. Where
our topologies were mainly storage components (they were not capable
of creating the new communicator), the new version is built around a
[possibly] common representation (in mca/topo/topo.h), but the functions
to attach and retrieve the topological information are specific to each
component. As a result the ompi_create_cart and ompi_create_graph functions
become useless and have been removed.
In addition to adding the internal infrastructure to manage the topology
information, it updates the MPI interface, and the debuggers support and
provides all Fortran interfaces.

in the v1.2 series the cid's could never go above the max. allowed for a
particular pml. Because of that, pml_add_comm never checked for the cid, and
in fact pml_add_comm was called in comm_set, which is *before* we knew the
cid.
in the v1.3 series (and trunk) we check now the cid to detect overflow, and
because of that pml_add_comm has been moved *after* the cid allocation
routine, namely into the comm_activate routine.
in the v1.2 series, the comm_activate contained a synchronization step of the
old communicator in order to prevent incoming fragments on the new
communicator, with the main problem being that the allreduce in the
communicator allocation finished at different times on different processes,
and thus, this scenario could and did really occur.
in the v1.3 series, the comm_activate does not contain the synchronization
step anymore, since we introduced the new queue for fragments with unknown
cid. The problem is however, that whether a fragment is known or not is
decided by using ompi_comm_lookup(), which will return something useful as
soon as the cid allocation finished, even before pml_add_comm has been
called. So there is a small time gap where we will not post a message into
queue for unknown cid's, but we can also not look up the process structure
belonging to the rank in that comm ( that is in pml_ob1_match_recv_frag or
something like that).
The current fix reintroduces the synchronization step in comm_activate, and
ensures that no fragment can be received for a new communicator before the
synchronization occurs , and thus comm_nextcid() and pml_add_comm has been
called. It seems to be the safest and easiest way for now. Welcome back, v1.2.

happens when hierarch is used. . Two major items:
- modify the comm_activate step to take an additional argument, indicating
whether the new communicatio has to go through the collective selection
step. This is not required sometimes (e.g. when a process calls
MPI_COMM_SPLIT with color=MPI_UNDEFINED), and contributed significantly to
the exhaustion of cids.
- when freeing a communicator, check whether we can reuse the block of cids
assigned to that comm. This only works if the current front of the cid
assignment (cid_block_start) is right ater the block of cids assigned to this
comm.

- Delete unnecessary header files using
contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...
In total 817 files are touched.
In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
additions required due to notifier...)

I'm unable to split it in two parts, my patch and Edgar's one. So I just update
copyright information for both of us.
What this patch do:
- it use the unexpected queue create by commit r19562 to dispatch the
unexpected message to the right communicator (once this communicator
is created and initialized).
- delay the PML comm_add until we have the context_id for the new communicator.
- only do the PML comm_add on processes that really belong to the new
communicator. Please read the lengthy comment in the source code for the
reason behind this.

Some MPI C interface files saw some spacing changes to conform to the coding standards of Open MPI.
Changed MPI C interface files to use {{{OPAL_CR_ENTER_LIBRARY()}}} and {{{OPAL_CR_EXIT_LIBRARY()}}} instead of just {{{OPAL_CR_TEST_CHECKPOINT_READY()}}}. This will allow the checkpoint/restart system more flexibility in how it is to behave.
Fixed the configure check for {{{--enable-ft-thread}}} so it has a know dependance on {{{--enable-mpi-thread}}} (and/or {{{--enable-progress-thread}}}).
Added a line for Checkpoint/Restart support to {{{ompi_info}}}.
Added some options to choose at runtime whether or not to use the checkpoint polling thread. By default, if the user asked for it to be compiled in, then it is used. But some users will want the ability to toggle its use at runtime.
There are still some places for improvement, but the feature works correctly. As always with Checkpoint/Restart, it is compiled out unless explicitly asked for at configure time. Further, if it was configured in, then it is not used unless explicitly asked for by the user at runtime.

comment in ompi_comm_invalid() in
source:/trunk/ompi/communicator/communicator.h.
Short version:
- ompi_comm_invalid() returns TRUE for MPI_COMM_NULL
- therefore MPI_COMM_C2F needs to explicitly check for MPI_COMM_NULL
(because it uses ompi_comm_invalid())
- make ~20 MPI functions only call ompi_comm_invalid() instead of
calling ompi_comm_invalid() *and* checking for MPI_COMM_NULL (~40 MPI
functions already only called ompi_comm_invalid() -- we should be
consistent)
- similar issue for ompi_win_invalid(), so I added a cross-referencing
comment in win.h and fixed MPI_WIN_SET_NAME to only call
ompi_win_invalid() (and not check for MPI_WIN_NULL)

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)
