We only support running with libfabric v1.3 or greater. So it's safe
to remove the legacy/adaptive cq_readerr() behavior.

Add endpoints in a blocked manner so that we don't overrun the
fi_av_insert() event queue. Also make the AV EQ length an MCA param,
and report it in mca_btl_base_verbose >=5 output.
There's no longer any need for the usnic BTL to have its own progress
thread: it can use the opal_progress_thread() infrastructure. This
commit removes the code to startup/shutdown the usnic-BTL-specific
progress thread and instead, just adds its events to the OPAL-wide
progress thread.
This necessitated a small change in the finalization step.
Previously, we would stop the progress thread and then tear down the
events. We can no longer stop the progress thread, and if we start
tearing down events, this will cause shutdown/hangups to be sent
across sockets, potentially firing some of the still-remaining events
while some (but not all) of the data structures have been torn down.
Chaos ensues.
Instead, queue up an event to tear down all the pending events. Since
the progress thread will only fire one event at a time, having a
teardown event means that it can tear down all the pending events
"atomically" and not have to worry that one of those events will get
fired in the middle of the teardown process.
In libfabric v1.0.0 (i.e., API v1.0), the usnic provider handled
FI_MSG_PREFIX inconsistently between sends and receives. This has
been fixed in libfabric v1.1.0 (i.e., API v1.1): FI_MSG_PREFIX is
handled consistently for both sends and receives.
Run-time detect which libfabric we are running with and adapt behavior
appropriately.
Handle the differences between libfabric v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 in the
return value of fi_cq_readerr().
Also consolidate CRC and truncation errors into the same handling
block, since truncation errors are typically another symptom of CRC
errors. This ensures that buffers get reposted properly.
Also include two other minor changes:
1. More C99-style member initialization in the component struct
1. Fix the BTL module member initialization to not be redundant
We had several problems in the old code:
1. We were specifying an arbitrary timeout (100 ms) and then abandoning
all remaining pending AV insert operations. We would then free the
endpoint buffer that we gave to fi_av_insert(), usually causing
libfabric's progress thread to write to a freed buffer.
2. We were claiming in a show_help message that the timeout was
controllable via an MCA parameter. This commit removes that
parameter, since there's no good method for us to specify a timeout
like this to libfabric right now.
3. We also weren't waiting for the correct number of fi_av_insert()
operations to complete. We were waiting for nprocs, which is
accidentally fine for 2 procs on separate hosts, but not for most
other proc counts.

This commit represents the conversion of the usnic BTL from verbs to
libfabric.
For the moment, libfabric is embedded in Open MPI (currently in the
usnic BTL). This is because the libfabric API is still changing, and
also has not yet been released. Ultimately, this embedded copy of
libfabric will likely disappear and the usnic BTL will rely on an
external installation of libfabric.
New configure options:
* --with-libfabric: will cause configure to fail if libfabric support
cannot be built
* --without-libfabric: will prevent libfabric support from being built
* --with-libfabric=DIR: use an external libfabric installation
* --with-libfabric-libdir=LIBDIR: when paired with --with-libfabric=DIR,
use LIBDIR for the libfabric installation library dir
The --with-libnl3[-libdir] arguments are now gone.
We recognize that this means other users of OPAL will need to "wrap" the opal_process_name_t if they desire to abstract it in some fashion. This is regrettable, and we are looking at possible alternatives that might mitigate that requirement. Meantime, however, we have to put the needs of the OMPI community first, and are taking this step to restore hetero and SPARC support.
1. After we receive N abnormally-short messages (meaning: corrupted),
print a show_help message about it. N defaults to 25. N can be set
to 0 disable the message via btl_usnic_max_short_packets.
1. If we receive a completion error for something other than a
receive, display a show_help message.

CMR'ing to v1.8.3, but it will require a custom patch because of the
OMPI->OPAL BTL move.

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.
