Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

other request-using frameworks.
- Rather than having mpi/c/* functions allocate requests explicitly,
pass the MPI_Request* down to the I/O component and have it
perform the allocation.
- While the I/O base provides a base request which can be used,
it is not required and all request management occurs within
the component.
- Push progress management into the component, rather than having it
happen in the base. Progress functions are now easily registered,
and not all (ie, the one existing) components use progress functions
in any rational way.
ROMIO switched to generalized requests instead of MPIO_Requests many
moons ago, and Open MPI now uses ROMIO's generalized requests, so there
is no reason to wrap those requests (which are OMPI requests) in another
level of request.
Now the file function passes the MPI_Request* to the ROMIO component,
which passes it to the underlying ROMIO function, which calls
MPI_Grequest_start to create an OMPI request, which is what gets set
as the request to the user. Much cleaner.
This patch has two motivations. One, a whole heck of a lot of code
just got removed, and request handling is now much cleaner for I/O
components. Two, by adding support for Argonne's proposed generalized
request extensions, we can allow ROMIO to provide async I/O through
generalized requests, which we couldn't rationally do in the old
setup due to the crazy request completion rules.

from the whole of ompi.

* add "register" function to mca_base_component_t
* converted coll:basic and paffinity:linux and paffinity:solaris to
use this function
* we'll convert the rest over time (I'll file a ticket once all
this is committed)
* add 32 bytes of "reserved" space to the end of mca_base_component_t
and mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t to make future upgrades
[slightly] easier
* new mca_base_component_t size: 196 bytes
* new mca_base_component_data_2_0_0_t size: 36 bytes
* MCA base version bumped to v2.0
* '''We now refuse to load components that are not MCA v2.0.x'''
* all MCA frameworks versions bumped to v2.0
* be a little more explicit about version numbers in the MCA base
* add big comment in mca.h about versioning philosophy

Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
Update the version of ROMIO to that which was contained in
MPICH2-1.0.7, plus a few patches from the upstream ROMIO maintainers
(because OMPI uses a few code paths in ROMIO that MPICH2 does not;
there were a few compile bugs in the ROMIO from MPICH2-1.0.7).
Added an info MCA param to be able to tell which version of ROMIO is
contained in OMPI: io_romio_version.
Many, many thanks to romio-maint@mcs.anl.gov for all their help in
integrating this new version of ROMIO into Open MPI.

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1370 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1370
* Create a new request type: NOOP (described below)
* For all MPI_*_INIT functions, OBJ_NEW an ompi_request_t and set its
type to NOOP
* Ensure that the NOOP requests are OBJ_RELEASE'd when they are done
* MPI_START looks at the request type; if NOOP, just return success. If
not, call the PML start() function
* MPI_STARTALL always pass the entire array of requests back to the PML
(see next point)
* Make the PMLs only process PML requests (i.e., ignore/skip anything
that isn't of type PML -- such as the NOOP requests)
* Add a little more param error checking in STARTALL

things I found:
- Locking should prevent it from happening (I think), but there was a
race condition in the component progress -- a callback could be
triggered that would free the request before it was off the outstanding
requests list.
- When pulling a request off the component free list, make sure to
reinitialize the free_called state on the IO request. This was
what was causing Edgar's failures
- In the request cleanup code, pull the request out of the per-
component free list before returning to the free list. This
probably would cause asserts to fire, although it looks like
I wrote the loops such that it would have been memory safe if
the asserts didn't fire. Not really sure why I did that, but
let's try it again...
This should go to the v1.0 and v1.1 branches.

to let the PML (or io, more generally the low level request manager)
to have it's own release function (what was before the req_fini). This
function will only be called from the low level while the req_free will
be called from the upper level (MPI layer) in order to mark the request
as not used by the user anymore.
From the request point of view the requests will be marked as inactive
everytime we read their status (true for persistent as well). As
MPI_REQUEST_NULL is already marked as inactive, the test and wait functions
are simpler. The drawback is that now we have to change in the
ompi_request_{test|wait} the req_status of the request once we get it's
status.

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)
