This RFC was committed to the trunk yesterday. Please let us know if you run
into any problems with it.
*** Remember that although the opal_hwloc_topology global variable will always

possible to compile it out for platforms that don't need it)
WHY: I previously sent a similar RFC to this one, but it got shot down in favor
of hiding hwloc's functionality under abstraction. After playing with this
