febc143d8c Per LANL's stated need, add functionality that runs a.out across ALL available process slots if no num_proc is specified on the command line. However, please note the following limitation: we ONLY allow ONE application to be specified on the command line when this feature is invoked. If multiple apps are specified, the user MUST also specify the number to be launched for each and every one of them.
Update the help text to report errors when not following that rule.

Also updated the RMAPS help text to reflect the reorganization of some of the round-robin code into the base.

The new functionality has been tested under Mac OS-X and on Odin using an MPI program. Both byslot and bynode mapping have been checked and verified. Operational support for other systems needs to be verified - I respectfully request people's help in doing so.

This commit was SVN r10708.

3d220cbd48 This patch fixes several issues relating to comm_spawn and N1GE. In particular, it does the following:
1. Modifies the RAS framework so it correctly stores and retrieves the actual slots in use, not just those that were allocated. Although the RAS node structure had storage for the number of slots in use, it turned out that the base function for storing and retrieving that information ignored what was in the field and simply set it equal to the number of slots allocated. This has now been fixed.

2. Modified the RMAPS framework so it updates the registry with the actual number of slots used by the mapping. Note that daemons are still NOT counted in this process as daemons are NOT mapped at this time. This will be fixed in 2.0, but will not be addressed in 1.x.

3. Added a new MCA parameter "rmaps_base_no_oversubscribe" that tells the system not to oversubscribe nodes even if the underlying environment permits it. The default is to oversubscribe if needed and the underlying environment permits it. I'm sure someone may argue "why would a user do that?", but it turns out that (looking ahead to dynamic resource reservations) sometimes users won't know how many nodes or slots they've been given in advance - this just allows them to say "hey, I'd rather not run if I didn't get enough".

4. Reorganizes the RMAPS framework to more easily support multiple components. A lot of the logic in the round_robin mapper was very valuable to any component - this has been moved to the base so others can take advantage of it.

5. Added a new test program "hello_nodename" - just does "hello_world" but also prints out the name of the node it is on.

6. Made the orte_ras_node_t object a full ORTE data type so it can more easily be copied, packed, etc. This proved helpful for the RMAPS code reorganization and might be of use elsewhere too.
