 * Addressing scheme and basic data types of LNet.
 *
 * The LNet API is memory-oriented, so LNet must be able to address not only
 * end-points but also memory region within a process address space.
 * An ::lnet_nid_t addresses an end-point. An ::lnet_pid_t identifies a process
 * in a node. A portal represents an opening in the address space of a
 * process. Match bits is criteria to identify a region of memory inside a
 * portal, and offset specifies an offset within the memory region.
 *
 * LNet creates a table of portals for each process during initialization.
 * This table has MAX_PORTALS entries and its size can't be dynamically
 * changed. A portal stays empty until the owning process starts to add
 * memory regions to it. A portal is sometimes called an index because
 * it's an entry in the portals table of a process.

 * and a set of match criteria. The match criteria can be used to reject
 * incoming requests based on process ID or the match bits provided in the
 * request. MEs can be dynamically inserted into a match list by LNetMEAttach()
 * and LNetMEInsert(), and removed from its list by LNetMEUnlink().

 *
 * Event queues (abbreviated as EQ) are used to log operations performed on
 * local MDs. In particular, they signal the completion of a data transmission
 * into or out of a MD. They can also be used to hold acknowledgments for
 * completed PUT operations and indicate when a MD has been unlinked. Multiple
 * MDs can share a single EQ. An EQ may have an optional event handler
 * associated with it. If an event handler exists, it will be run for each
 * event that is deposited into the EQ.
 *
 * In addition to the lnet_handle_eq_t, the LNet API defines two types
 * associated with events: The ::lnet_event_kind_t defines the kinds of events
 * that can be stored in an EQ. The lnet_event_t defines a structure that
 * holds the information about with an event.
 *
 * There are five functions for dealing with EQs: LNetEQAlloc() is used to
 * create an EQ and allocate the resources needed, while LNetEQFree()
 * releases these resources and free the EQ. LNetEQGet() retrieves the next
 * event from an EQ, and LNetEQWait() can be used to block a process until
 * an EQ has at least one event. LNetEQPoll() can be used to test or wait
 * on multiple EQs.
