Thanks to your help, this should now work in hwloc trunk. A tarball will
be available tomorrow morning at
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/nightly/trunk/
(you need a SVN revision >= 4528)
I also added instruction cache detection for AIX while I was working on AIX.
I am now looking at get_last_cpu_location() for entire processes instead
of individual threads.
