In the case such a functionality become necessary, I would suggest we use a
mechanism similar to the attributes in MPI (but without the multi-language
mess). That will allow whoever want to attach data to a hwloc node, to do it
without the mess of dealing with reserving a slot. It might require

hwloc_obj->userdata
WHY: anticipating that more parts of the OMPI code base will be using the hwloc
data
WHERE: hwloc base

this morning. We're
