Sorry for the configure change -- hopefully it's early enough in the
morning that it won't affect people... (new approach won't have a
configure change).

Let's minimize the disturbances and say that the configure system is right.
From now on it's OPAL_BOOL_STRUCT_COPY. This one is related to r13076 and
has to follow when r13076 goes in the 1.2.

been fixed in the 7.0 PGI series, but is unlikely to be fixed in the
6.2 series:
* Add a configure test looking for the bad behavior (the PGI compiler
chokes on C code where structs containing bool's are copied by
value)
* Set OMPI_BOOL_STRUCT_COPY to 1 if it's ok, 0 if it's not (i.e., PGI
6.2 series will have this value set to 0)
* In two places in the code base -- orte-clean and btl_openib_ini.h,
we have a struct that contains a bool that is copied by value. In
these two places, check OMPI_BOOL_STRUCT_COPY and if it's 1, use
the "int" type instead of "bool".

Add ability for ini files to recognize "use_eager_rdma" flag. Set the
default to "no" (because we should assume that HCAs cannot support the
property necessary for using RDMA for eager messages -- that the last
byte of the message is guaranteed to be written to memory last --
unless proven otherwise. For example, iWARP cards apparently do not
provide this guarantee), and then set all Mellanox and IBM HCAs to
override the default to enable this behavior on these cards.

addition to my design and testing, it was conceptually approved by
Gil, Gleb, Pasha, Brad, and Galen. Functionally [probably somewhat
lightly] tested by Galen. We may still have to shake out some bugs
during the next few months, but it seems to be working for all the
cases that I can throw at it.
Here's a summary of the changes from that branch:
* Move MCA parameter registration to a new file (btl_openib_mca.c):
* Properly check the retun status of registering MCA params
* Check for valid values of MCA parameters
* Make help strings better
* Otherwise, the only default value of an MCA param that was
changed was max_btls; it went from 4 to -1 (meaning: use all
available)
* Properly prototyped internal functions in _component.c
* Made a bunch of functions static that didn't need to be public
* Renamed to remove "mca_" prefix from static functions
* Call new MCA param registration function
* Call new INI file read/lookup/finalize functions
* Updated a bunch of macros to be "BTL_" instead of "ORTE_"
* Be a little more consistent with return values
* Handle -1 for the max_btls MCA param
* Fixed a free() that should have been an OBJ_RELEASE()
* Some re-indenting
* Added INI-file parsing
* New flex file: btl_openib_ini.l
* New default HCA params .ini file (probably to be expanded over
time by other HCA vendors)
* Added more show_help messages for parsing problems
* Read in INI files and cache the values for later lookup
* When component opens an HCA, lookup to see if any corresponding
values were found in the INI files (ID'ed by the HCA vendor_id
and vendor_part_id)
* Added btl_openib_verbose MCA param that shows what the INI-file
stuff does (e.g., shows which MTU your HCA ends up using)
* Added btl_openib_hca_param_files as a colon-delimited list of INI
files to check for values during startup (in order,
left-to-right, just like the MCA base directory param).
* MTU is currently the only value supported in this framework.
* It is not a fatal error if we don't find params for the HCA in
the INI file(s). Instead, just print a warning. New MCA param
btl_openib_warn_no_hca_params_found can be used to disable
printing the warning.
* Add MTU to peer negotiation when making a connection
* Exchange maximum MTU; select the lesser of the two
