WHAT: Open our low-level communication infrastructure by moving all necessary components (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool) down in OPAL
All the components required for inter-process communications are currently deeply integrated in the OMPI layer. Several groups/institutions have express interest in having a more generic communication infrastructure, without all the OMPI layer dependencies. This communication layer should be made available at a different software level, available to all layers in the Open MPI software stack. As an example, our ORTE layer could replace the current OOB and instead use the BTL directly, gaining access to more reactive network interfaces than TCP. Similarly, external software libraries could take advantage of our highly optimized AM (active message) communication layer for their own purpose. UTK with support from Sandia, developped a version of Open MPI where the entire communication infrastucture has been moved down to OPAL (btl/rcache/allocator/mpool). Most of the moved components have been updated to match the new schema, with few exceptions (mainly BTLs where I have no way of compiling/testing them). Thus, the completion of this RFC is tied to being able to completing this move for all BTLs. For this we need help from the rest of the Open MPI community, especially those supporting some of the BTLs. A non-exhaustive list of BTLs that qualify here is: mx, portals4, scif, udapl, ugni, usnic.

new flag to ompi_info that allows a user to print all MCA variables of a specific type.
--type version_string
This command will print all MCA variables of type version_string.

mpirun ... -x env_foo1=val1 -x env_foo2 -x env_foo3=val3 should now be expressed as
mpirun ... -mca mca_base_env_list env_foo1=val1+env_foo2+env_foo3=val3.
The motivation for doing this is so that a list of environment variables may be set via standard MCA mechanisms such as mca parameter files, amca lists, etc.

After discussion with Nathan, change the ERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS to be
ERR_NOT_FOUND, for two reasons:
1. It's consistent with other uses of ERR_NOT_FOUND in the code.
1. In this case, we could have just looked up a variable that is
basically a "hole" -- e.g., var indexes 0, 1, 2 are valid, and 4,
5, and 5 are valid, but 3 is invalid (e.g., 3 was de-registered --
remember that MPI_T explicitly does not allow re-using indexes).
So returning ERR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS seems weird -- returning
ERR_NOT_FOUND seems a bit more natural.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 4587 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/4587
Several fixes:
- I was allowing an MPI_T_cvar_handle to be created for an invalid
variable. Fixed this by checking if the variable is valid in
mca_base_var_get.
- Use a better error code when the caller tries to create an unbound
pvar handle for a bound variable.
- Return the verbosity level in MPI_T_cvar_get_info.

In the OPAL_ENABLE_FT_CR code path there used to be a variable
'mca_base_component_distill_checkpoint_ready' which got removed.
The FT code was not compiling and while trying to get it to compile
again the old variable was #ifdef'd out. This re-introduces the
variable with a new name 'opal_base_distill_checkpoint_ready'
and enables the code previously #ifdef'd out.
This removes the last hack introduced to get the FT code to compile
again.
This commit was SVN r30928.
The original code was passing a union by value, and doing odd things
on Solaris/SPARC (where "odd" rhymes with "SIGBUS"). Replace it with
an exploded switch/case block for all the enum values. Also use the
string literals so that we get compiler checking of the format string
vs. the type of the actual arguments.

hard to group like the other patches.
Changes from V1:
* explain why mca_base_component_distill_checkpoint_ready no longer works
* compare return result of opal functions with OPAL_* values
Changes from V2:
* use orte_rml_oob_ft_event() instead of referencing through the modules
* properly protect variable (thanks to --enable-picky)

- Make a copy of enumerator data for default enumerators. This will allow
the caller to free their data once the enumerator has been created. This
is a change from just referencing the values array.
- Make mca_base_pvar_notify check if the pvar is valid before calling the
notify callback. This fixes a segmentation fault when destroying handles
after MPI_Finalize().

the output of ompi_info.
A variable is disabled if its component will never be selected due to
a component selection parameter (eg. -mca btl self). The old behavior
of ompi_info was to not print these parameters at all. Now we print the
parameters. After some discussion with George it was decided that there
needed to be some way to see what parameters will not be used. This was
the comprimise.
This commit also fixes a bug and a typo in the pvar sytem. The enum_count
value in mca_base_pvar_dump was being used without being set. The full_name
in mca_base_pvar_t was not being used.

This commit adds an API for registering and querying performance
variables (mca_base_pvar) in the MCA base. The existing MCA variable
system API has been updated to reflect the new API: MCA variable
groups have performance variables, and new types have been added (double,
unsigned long long) to reflect what is required by the MPI_T
interface. Additionally, the MCA variable group code has been split
into its own set of files: mca_base_var_group.[ch].
Details of the new API can be found in doxygen comments in the header:
mca_base_pvar.h.
Other changes to the variable system:
- Use an opal_hash_table to speed up variable/group lookup.
- Clean up code associated with MCA variable types.
- Registered performance variables are printed by ompi_info -a. In the
future an option should be added to control this behavior.
Changes to OMPI:
- Added full support for the MPI_T performance variable interface.
