The patch includes the following:
* Add new mca parameter - btl_openib_max_hw_msg_size - Maximum size (in bytes) of a single fragment of a long message when using the RDMA protocols (must be > 0 and <= hw capabilities).
* If btl_openib_max_hw_msg_size is larger than the maximum hw limitation print error message.
* Change the default openib flags to include only PUT and not GET.
* Print error message if user choose manually GET flag in openib btl.
* In prepare_dst: limit the message size to be the minimum of both endpoint's hw_limitation and the user limitation (if requested).

Somehow they got fixed in the pt2pt implementation, but not the RDMA
implementation. Thanks to Guillaume Thouvenin for finding this issue.

If specified, a comma-delimited list of TCP interfaces. Interfaces
will be assigned, one to each MPI process, in a round-robin fashion
on each server. For example, if the list is "eth0,eth1" and four
MPI processes are run on a single server, then local ranks 0 and 2
will use eth0 and local ranks 1 and 3 will use eth1.
This feature is only useful for environments with virtual ethernet
interfaces on the same network. For example, if eth0 and eth1 are
virtual interfaces to the same NIC on the same subnet, and if the NIC
provides different hardware resources to eth0 and eth1 (not just
different kernel resources), some HOL blocking and congestion issues
can be eased in a modest fashion.

* mtl_mx_board: allow selection of specific MX NIC/board to use. <0
means "use any board".
* mtl_mx_endpoint: allow selection of specific MX endpoint to use.
<0 means "use any endpoint".

Note: the ompi_check_libfca.m4 file had to be modified to avoid it stomping on global CPPFLAGS and the like. The file was also relocated to the ompi/config directory as it pertains solely to an ompi-layer component.
Forgive the mid-day configure change, but I know Shiqing is working the windows issues and don't want to cause him unnecessary redo work.

Setup the event API to support multiple bases in preparation for splitting the OMPI and ORTE events. Holding here pending shared memory resolution.

This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.
Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.
Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.
I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:
1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)
2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.
There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.
