If all you want is a simple migration from PLPA to hwloc, then yes it is 
"fairly straightforward". But then, you don't get the advantage of using hwloc, 
all you get is the extra OSes support.

If you want to get the extra information about NUMA nodes, for example, then 
you will need to add extra code in execd & qmaster, and may be some client 
level code.

I guess that it would be a fairly straightforward project for someone to
try replacing PLPA with hwloc without needing to know much about GE
internals.  If anyone is interested, see

As well as helping with architectures like Magny-Cours, it would
introduce support for more platforms than Linux and Solaris.
