After a long period of development with many starts and stops, we
finally got this where we wanted it.
This commit introduces 2 new MCA params (note that the
"maffinity_libnuma_policy" MCA param introduced by r24290 was removed
when libnuma support was removed). Remember that maffinity policies
are only in effect when paffinity is enaabled -- i.e., when processes
are bound to processors!
* '''maffinity_base_alloc_policy:''' Policy that determines how
general memory allocations are bound after MPI_INIT. A value of
"none" means that no memory policy is applied. A value of
"local_only" means that all memory allocations will be restricted
to the local NUMA node where each process is placed. Note that
operating system paging policies are unaffected by this setting.
For example, if "local_only" is used and local NUMA node memory is
exhausted, a new memory allocation may cause paging.
* '''maffinity_base_bind_failure_action:''' What Open MPI will do if
it explicitly tries to bind memory to a specific NUMA location, and
fails. Note that this is a different case than the general
allocation policy described by maffinity_base_alloc_policy. A
value of "warn" means that Open MPI will warn the first time this
happens, but allow the job to continue (possibly with degraded
performance). A value of "error" means that Open MPI will abort
the job if this happens.
This needs at least a little soak time on the trunk before going to
v1.5.

1. replacing mpi_paffinity_alone with opal_paffinity_alone - for back-compatibility, I have aliased mpi_paffinity_alone to the new param name. This caus
es a mild abstraction break in the opal/mca/paffinity framework - per the devel discussion...live with it. :-) I also moved the ompi_xxx global variable
that tracked maffinity setup so it could be properly closed in MPI_Finalize to the opal/mca/maffinity framework to avoid an abstraction break.
2. Added code to the odls/default module to perform paffinity binding and maffinity init between process fork and exec. This has been tested on IU's odi
n cluster and works for both MPI and non-MPI apps.
3. Revise MPI_Init to detect if affinity has already been set, and to attempt to set it if not already done. I have *not* tested this as I haven't yet f
igured out a way to do so - I couldn't get slurm to perform cpu bindings, even though it supposedly does do so.
This has only been lightly tested and would definitely benefit from a wider range of evaluation...
This commit was SVN r21209.
* add "register" function to mca_base_component_t
* converted coll:basic and paffinity:linux and paffinity:solaris to
use this function
* we'll convert the rest over time (I'll file a ticket once all
this is committed)
* add 32 bytes of "reserved" space to the end of mca_base_component_t
and mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t to make future upgrades
[slightly] easier
* new mca_base_component_t size: 196 bytes
* new mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t size: 36 bytes
* MCA base version bumped to v2.0
* '''We now refuse to load components that are not MCA v2.0.x'''
* all MCA frameworks versions bumped to v2.0
* be a little more explicit about version numbers in the MCA base
* add big comment in mca.h about versioning philosophy

API is still a bit unstable and may change.
- Add a primitive "first use" component that simply has each process
"touch" the pages that they want to use, thereby [hopefully] locking
them locally to a specific processor
- Add hooks in ompi_mpi_init to enable memory affinity when processor
affinity is used.
- Added hooks in ompi_mpi_finalize to shut down memory affinity when
it was initialized during ompi_mpi_init.
- Added right hooks in ompi_info to display maffinity components.
