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.

* Protect the '->bitmap' field if init() is called more than once [it shouldn't be, but if it is then this avoids a memory leak].
* Some new functions
* opal_bitmap_bitwise_and_inplace
* opal_bitmap_bitwise_or_inplace
* opal_bitmap_bitwise_xor_inplace
* opal_bitmap_are_different
* opal_bitmap_get_string
Adding these features to the trunk so others have access to them if they need them. A couple off trunk branches make use of them.

not end up in OPAL
- Will post an updated patch for the OMPI_ALIGNMENT_ parts (within C).
This commit was SVN r21342.
The following SVN revision numbers were found above:
r21330 --> open-mpi/ompi@95596d1814
into the OPAL namespace, eliminating cases like opal/util/arch.c
testing for ompi_fortran_logical_t.
As this is processor- and compiler-related information
(e.g. does the compiler/architecture support REAL*16)
this should have been on the OPAL layer.
- Unifies f77 code using MPI_Flogical instead of opal_fortran_logical_t
- Tested locally (Linux/x86-64) with mpich and intel testsuite
but would like to get this week-ends MTT output
- PLEASE NOTE: configure-internal macro-names and
ompi_cv_ variables have not been changed, so that
external platform (not in contrib/) files still work.

opal layer.
Add a check against a maximum (actually get rid of ifs internally to
opal_bitmap.c) -- the functionality to set the current maximum size
opal_bitmap_set_max_size() is currently only used in attribute.c
to set the maximum OMPI_FORTRAN_HANDLE_MAX...
Tested on linux/x86-64 with intel-tests with all_tests_no_perf_f
run with 6 procs.
Let's look into MTT as well...
This commit was SVN r20708.
Refers to ticket #1548. Although this appears to fix the problem, the ticket will be held open pending further test prior to transition to the 1.3 branch.
This commit was SVN r19674.
