The fix for the HPL SEGV was incorrect because it assumed the
prepare_src() routine was always allowed to return "bytes processed"
less than the requested "bytes to send". It turns out this is only true
if the convertor is what limits the size, we are not allowed to limit
the data sent for our own reasons, else we break login in the upper
layers.
This means we need to learn the number of bytes out of the size
requested the convertor will give us, no matter how big the size is.
Unfortunately, this is a destructive test, and (currently) the only way to
learn that number is to actually have the convertor copy the data out into
buffers.
This change implements this, copying the entire data out into a chain of
send segments which are attached to the large send fragment. Now we can
always return the proper size value to the PML.
Fixes Cisco bug CSCuj08024

Should be included in usnic v1.7.3 roll-up CMR (refs trac:3760)

Without this, an `--enable-debug` build would hit an assertion in the
list code when run under valgrind with `--malloc-fill=0xff` or any other
case where malloc returned non-zeroed buffers.
Also allow the normal OBJ_ machinery to handle the constructor
invocation ordering for us instead of doing it by hand (which could have
led to future bugs).

Brian (rightfully) hit me on the head with the
don't-use-ORTE-use-the-rte-framework clue bat; the usnic BTL now
nicely plays with the RTE framework.
This commit was SVN r28907.
This BTL accesses the Cisco usNIC Linux device via the Linux verbs
API via Unreliable Datagram queue pairs. A few noteworthy points:
* This BTL does most of its own fragmentation; it tells the PML that
it has a very high max_send_size (much higher than the network
MTU).
* Since UD fragments are, by definition, unreliable, the usnic BTL
handles all of its own reliability via a sliding window approach
using the opal_hotel construct and many tricks stolen from the
corpus of knowledge surrounding efficient TCP.
* There is a fun PML latency-metric based optimization for NUMA
awareness of short messages.
* Note that this is ''not'' a generic UD verbs BTL; it is specific to
the Cisco usNIC device.
This commit was SVN r28879.
