There is currently a path through the grdma mpool and vma rcache that
leads to deadlock. It happens during the rcache insert. Before the
insert the rcache mutex is locked. During the call a new vma item is
allocated and then inserted into the rcache tree. The allocation
currently goes through the malloc hooks which may (and does) call back
into the mpool if the ptmalloc heap needs to be reallocated. This
callback tries to lock the rcache mutex which leads to the
deadlock. This has been observed with multi-threaded tests and the
openib btl.
This change may lead to some minor slowdown in the rcache vma when
threading is enabled. This will only affect larger message paths in
some of the btls.

This commit adds support for project_framework_component_* parameter
matching. This is the first step in allowing the same framework name
in multiple projects. This change also bumps the MCA component version
to 2.1.0.
All master frameworks have been updated to use the new component
versioning macro. An mca.h has been added to each project to add a
project specific versioning macro of the form
PROJECT_MCA_VERSION_2_1_0.

This commit adds an owner file in each of the component directories
for each framework. This allows for a simple script to parse
the contents of the files and generate, among other things, tables
to be used on the project's wiki page. Currently there are two
"fields" in the file, an owner and a status. A tool to parse
the files and generate tables for the wiki page will be added
in a subsequent commit.
There was a mismatch between the structure for mca_rcache_vma_t and
the OBJ_CLASS_INSTANCE. One was opal_list_item_t and the other was
ompi_free_list_item_t. The super class in the structure looks like it
is the correct one. Changed the superclass in OBJ_CLASS_INSTANCE to
match.
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.
