1. The send path get shorter. The BTL is allowed to return > 0 to specify that the
descriptor was pushed to the networks, and that the memory attached to it is
available again for the upper layer. The MCA_BTL_DES_SEND_ALWAYS_CALLBACK flag
can be used by the PML to force the BTL to always trigger the callback.
Unmodified BTL will continue to work as expected, as they will return OMPI_SUCCESS
which force the PML to have exactly the same behavior as before. Some BTLs have
been modified: self, sm, tcp, mx.
2. Add send immediate interface to BTL.
The idea is to have a mechanism of allowing the BTL to take advantage of
send optimizations such as the ability to deliver data "inline". Some
network APIs such as Portals allow data to be sent using a "thin" event
without packing data into a memory descriptor. This interface change
allows the BTL to use such capabilities and allows for other optimizations
in the future. All existing BTLs except for Portals and sm have this interface
set to NULL.

PERUSE_COMM_REQ_ACTIVATE event.
Therefore move the PERUSE_TRACE_COMM_EVENT for this event from
MCA_PML_BASE_SEND_REQUEST_INIT / MCA_PML_BASE_RECV_REQUEST_INIT
to the proper places into pml_ob1_isend.c / pml_ob1_irecv.c right
after the MCA_PML_OB1_SEND_REQUEST_INIT /
MCA_PML_OB1_RECV_REQUEST_INIT.

single threaded builds. In its default configuration, all this does
is ensure that there's at least a good chance of threads building
based on non-threaded development (since the variable names will be
checked). There is also code to make sure that a "mutex" is never
"double locked" when using the conditional macro mutex operations.
This is off by default because there are a number of places in both
ORTE and OMPI where this alarm spews mega bytes of errors on a
simple test. So we have some work to do on our path towards
thread support.
Also removed the macro versions of the non-conditional thread locks,
as the only places they were used, the author of the code intended
to use the conditional thread locks. So now you have upper-case
macros for conditional thread locks and lowercase functions for
non-conditional locks. Simple, right? :).

long ago) supposed to be used as a cache for accessing the PML procs. But in
all of the PMLs the PML proc contain only one field i.e. a pointer to the ompi_proc.
This pointer can be accessed using the c_remote_group easily. Therefore, there is no
meaning of keeping the PML procs around. Slim fast commit ...

We support all the events in the PERUSE specifications, but right now only one event
of each type can be attached to a communicator. This will be worked out in the future.
The events were places in such a way, that we will be able to measure the overhead
for our threading implementation (the cost of the synchronization objects).

to let the PML (or io, more generally the low level request manager)
to have it's own release function (what was before the req_fini). This
function will only be called from the low level while the req_free will
be called from the upper level (MPI layer) in order to mark the request
as not used by the user anymore.
From the request point of view the requests will be marked as inactive
everytime we read their status (true for persistent as well). As
MPI_REQUEST_NULL is already marked as inactive, the test and wait functions
are simpler. The drawback is that now we have to change in the
ompi_request_{test|wait} the req_status of the request once we get it's
status.
