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.

finally brings in functionality that is already on the 1.2 branch, and
was developed and tested in the v1.2ofed branch (and other places).
Short version of new features:
* Support for ibv_fork_init()
* Automatically fill in the openib BTL bandwidth value by
querying the HCA port
* Installdirs functionality
* Fixes to always use -I in the Fortran wrapper compilers (#924)
* Gleb's mpool updates
* Remove some kruft in btl/openib/configure.m4, therefore
fixing the harmless warnings noted in #665
* Bunches of updates to the Linux RPM spec file
I.e., effectively the same thing that r14411 brought to the v1.2
branch.
Also effectively brought in r14432 and r14433 (some fixes on top of
the original r14411 commit to v1.2). Still need to bring in the moral
equivalent of r14445 after this commit (fixes to installdirs).
This commit was SVN r14449.

allocated from mpool memory (which is registered memory for RDMA transports)
This is not a problem for a small jobs, but for a big number of ranks an
amount of waisted memory is big.

udapl/openib/vapi/gm mpools a deprecated. rdma mpool has parameter that allows
to limit its size mpool_rdma_rcache_size_limit (default is 0 - unlimited).
This commit was SVN r12878.
GIDs (there can be more than one) and not GIDs of the HCA on the network. Entry
zero always have to be initialized so we use it, and warn user if there is more
then one port active and default subnet is configured on at least one of them.
This commit was SVN r11815.
addition to my design and testing, it was conceptually approved by
Gil, Gleb, Pasha, Brad, and Galen. Functionally [probably somewhat
lightly] tested by Galen. We may still have to shake out some bugs
during the next few months, but it seems to be working for all the
cases that I can throw at it.
Here's a summary of the changes from that branch:
* Move MCA parameter registration to a new file (btl_openib_mca.c):
* Properly check the retun status of registering MCA params
* Check for valid values of MCA parameters
* Make help strings better
* Otherwise, the only default value of an MCA param that was
changed was max_btls; it went from 4 to -1 (meaning: use all
available)
* Properly prototyped internal functions in _component.c
* Made a bunch of functions static that didn't need to be public
* Renamed to remove "mca_" prefix from static functions
* Call new MCA param registration function
* Call new INI file read/lookup/finalize functions
* Updated a bunch of macros to be "BTL_" instead of "ORTE_"
* Be a little more consistent with return values
* Handle -1 for the max_btls MCA param
* Fixed a free() that should have been an OBJ_RELEASE()
* Some re-indenting
* Added INI-file parsing
* New flex file: btl_openib_ini.l
* New default HCA params .ini file (probably to be expanded over
time by other HCA vendors)
* Added more show_help messages for parsing problems
* Read in INI files and cache the values for later lookup
* When component opens an HCA, lookup to see if any corresponding
values were found in the INI files (ID'ed by the HCA vendor_id
and vendor_part_id)
* Added btl_openib_verbose MCA param that shows what the INI-file
stuff does (e.g., shows which MTU your HCA ends up using)
* Added btl_openib_hca_param_files as a colon-delimited list of INI
files to check for values during startup (in order,
left-to-right, just like the MCA base directory param).
* MTU is currently the only value supported in this framework.
* It is not a fatal error if we don't find params for the HCA in
the INI file(s). Instead, just print a warning. New MCA param
btl_openib_warn_no_hca_params_found can be used to disable
printing the warning.
* Add MTU to peer negotiation when making a connection
* Exchange maximum MTU; select the lesser of the two
