 *
 * Purpose:	This is the MPI-2 I/O driver.
 *
 * Limitations:
 *     	H5FD_mpio_read & H5FD_mpio_write
 *		Eventually these should choose collective or independent i/o
 *		based on a parameter that is passed down to it from H5Dwrite,
 *		rather than the access_parms (which are fixed at the open).
 *
 *	H5FD_mpio_read
 *		One implementation of MPI/MPI-IO causes MPI_Get_count
 *		to return (incorrectly) a negative count. I (who?) added code
 *		to detect this, and a kludge to pretend that the number of
 *		bytes read is always equal to the number requested.  This
 *		kluge is activated by #ifdef MPI_KLUGE0202.

 * 		mpi-related flags defined in H5Fpublic.h.
 *
 *		Albert Cheng, 1998-04-16

 *		to be controlled by data transfer property list during data

 *		If the file->allsame flag is set, we assume that all the

 *		data at identical offsets in the file, so only proc 0 will
 *		write, and all other procs will wait for p0 to finish. This
 *		is useful for writing metadata, for example. Note that we
 *		don't _check_ that the data is identical. Also, the mechanism
 *		we use to eliminate the redundant writes is by requiring a
 *		call to H5FD_mpio_tas_allsame before the write, which is
 *		rather klugey. Would it be better to pass a parameter to
 *		low-level writes like H5F_block_write and H5F_low_write,
 *		instead?  Or...??? Also, when I created this mechanism I
 *		wanted to minimize the difference in behavior between the old
 *		way of doing things (i.e., all procs write) and the new way,
 *		so the writes are eliminated at the very lowest level, here
 *		in H5FD_mpio_write. It may be better to rethink that, and
 *		short-circuit the writes at a higher level (e.g., at the
 *		points in the code where H5FD_mpio_tas_allsame is called).
