As per discussion in the June 2013 developer meeting these
flags will be used by the PML in the future to request
asynchronous progress on an operation. The naming was chosen
to reflect that a BTL supports this mode (MCA_BTL_FLAG_SIGNALED)
and that a descriptor should "signal" the remote side to wake
up and progress the message (MCA_BTL_DES_FLAG_SIGNAL).
Future commits will update OB1 to take advantage of this
feature when performing the RDMA get or RDMA rendezvous
protocols.

commit is the trunk version of what is needed for #3626.
Add the "ignore_device" field to the INI file. This allows us to
specifically list devices that should be ignored by the openib BTL
(such as the Intel Phi, at least as of May 2013 -- see #3626).
Also add the Intel Phi to the ini file, and set its ignore_device=1.
Finally, add the concept of counting intentionally ignored verbs
devices. Devices are ignored for one of two reasons:
* If the number of allowed ports on that device is 0 (i.e., if
if_include/if_exclude was set such that we're intentionally
ignoring this device).
* If the INI ignore_device field for this device is set to 1.
Once we have the count of devices that were intentionally ignored,
only show the "Hey, there's verbs devices that you're not using!"
show_help message if there are devices that were ''unintentionally''
ignored.

some relevant updates/new functionality in the opal/mca/hwloc and
orte/mca/rmaps bases. This work was mainly developed by Mellanox,
with a bunch of advice from Ralph Castain, and some minor advice from
Brice Goglin and Jeff Squyres.
Even though this is mainly Mellanox's work, Jeff is committing only
for logistical reasons (he holds the hg+svn combo tree, and can
therefore commit it directly back to SVN).
-----
Implemented distance-based mapping algorithm as a new "mindist"
component in the rmaps framework. It allows mapping processes by NUMA
due to PCI locality information as reported by the BIOS - from the
closest to device to furthest.
To use this algorithm, specify:
{{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>}}}
where <device_name> can be mlx5_0, ib0, etc.
There are two modes provided:
1. bynode: load-balancing across nodes
1. byslot: go through slots sequentially (i.e., the first nodes are
more loaded)
These options are regulated by the optional ''span'' modifier; the
command line parameter looks like:
{{{mpirun --map-by dist:<device_name>,span}}}
So, for example, if there are 2 nodes, each with 8 cores, and we'd
like to run 10 processes, the mindist algorithm will place 8 processes
to the first node and 2 to the second by default. But if you want to
place 5 processes to each node, you can add a span modifier in your
command line to do that.
If there are two NUMA nodes on the node, each with 4 cores, and we run
6 processes, the mindist algorithm will try to find the NUMA closest
to the specified device, and if successful, it will place 4 processes
on that NUMA but leaving the remaining two to the next NUMA node.
You can also specify the number of cpus per MPI process. This option
is handled so that we map as many processes to the closest NUMA as we
can (number of available processors at the NUMA divided by number of
cpus per rank) and then go on with the next closest NUMA.
The default binding option for this mapping is bind-to-numa. It works
if you don't specify any binding policy. But if you specified binding
level that was "lower" than NUMA (i.e hwthread, core, socket) it would
bind to whatever level you specify.

of the OPAL datatype descriptions upon MPI_Init. Now each layer (OPAL
and OMPI) uses it's own descriptions for the predefined datatypes,
thus preventing over-writing of the other layer data description.
