 * Purpose:	Store the user supplied MPIO communicator comm and info in

 *		duplicate of comm. Any modification to comm after this function
 *		call returns has no effect on the access property list.
 *
 *		info is the MPI Info object to be used for file open as
 *		defined in MPI_FILE_OPEN of MPI-2. This function makes a
 *		duplicate of info. Any modification to info after this
 *		function call returns has no effect on the access property
 *		list.
 *
 *              If fapl_id has previously set comm and info values, they
 *              will be replaced and the old communicator and Info object

 * Return:	Success:	Non-negative

 *
 * Programmer:	Albert Cheng
 *		Feb 3, 1998
 *
 * Modifications:
 *		Robb Matzke, 1998-02-18
 *		Check all arguments before the property list is updated so we
 *		don't leave the property list in a bad state if something
 *		goes wrong.  Also, the property list data type changed to
 *		allow more generality so all the mpi-related stuff is in the
 *		`u.mpi' member.  The `access_mode' will contain only
 * 		mpi-related flags defined in H5Fpublic.h.
 *
 *		Albert Cheng, 1998-04-16
 *		Removed the ACCESS_MODE argument.  The access mode is changed
 *		to be controlled by data transfer property list during data
 *		read/write calls.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-08-06
 *		Modified to work with the virtual file layer.
 *
 *		Raymond Lu, 2001-10-23
 *		Changed the file access list to the new generic property
 *		list.
 *
 *		Albert Cheng, 2003-04-17
 *		Modified the description of the function that it now stores
 *		a duplicate of the communicator and INFO object.  Free the
 *		old duplicates if previously set.  (Work is actually done
 *		by H5P_set_driver.)

 *		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).
 *
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1998-02-18
 *		Added the ACCESS_PARMS argument.
 *
 * 		rky, 1998-04-10
 *		Call independent or collective MPI write, based on
 *		ACCESS_PARMS.
 *
 * 		rky, 1998-04-24
 *		Removed redundant write from H5FD_mpio_write.
 *
 * 		Albert Cheng, 1998-06-01
 *		Added XFER_MODE to control independent or collective MPI
 *		write.
 *
 * 		rky, 1998-08-16
 *		Use BTYPE, FTYPE, and DISP from access parms. The guts of
 *		H5FD_mpio_read and H5FD_mpio_write should be replaced by a
 *		single dual-purpose routine.
 *
 * 		rky, 1998-08-28
 *		Added ALLSAME parameter to make all but proc 0 skip the
 *		actual write.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-04-21
 *		Changed XFER_MODE to XFER_PARMS for all H5FD_*_write()
 *		callbacks.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-07-28
 *		The ADDR argument is passed by value.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-08-06
 *		Modified to work with the virtual file layer.
 *
 *		Albert Cheng, 1999-12-19
 *		When only-p0-write-allsame-data, p0 Bcasts the
 *		ret_value to other processes.  This prevents
 *		a racing condition (that other processes try to
 *		read the file before p0 finishes writing) and also
 *		allows all processes to report the same ret_value.
 *
 *		Kim Yates, Pat Weidhaas,  2000-09-26
 *		Move block of coding where only p0 writes after the
 *              MPI_File_set_view call.
 *
 *		Quincey Koziol,  2002-05-10
 *		Instead of always writing metadata from process 0, spread the
 *              burden among all the processes by using a round-robin rotation
 *              scheme.
 *
 *		Quincey Koziol,  2002-05-10
 *		Removed allsame code, keying off the type parameter instead.
 *
 *		Quincey Koziol,  2002-05-14
 *		Only call MPI_Get_count if we can use MPI_BYTE for the MPI type
 *              for the I/O transfer.  Someday we might include code to decode
 *              the MPI type used for more complicated transfers and call
 *              MPI_Get_count all the time.
 *
 *              Quincey Koziol - 2002/06/17
 *              Removed 'disp' parameter from H5FD_mpio_setup routine and use
 *              the address of the dataset in MPI_File_set_view() calls, as
 *              necessary.
 *
 *              Quincey Koziol - 2002/06/24
 *              Removed "lazy" MPI_File_set_view() calls, since they would fail
 *              if the first I/O was a collective I/O using MPI derived types
 *              and the next I/O was an independent I/O.
 *
 *              Quincey Koziol - 2002/07/18
 *              Added "block_before_meta_write" dataset transfer flag, which
 *              is set during writes from a metadata cache flush and indicates
 *              that all the processes must sync up before (one of them)
 *              writing metadata.
 *
 *              Quincey Koziol - 2003/10/22-31
 *              Restructured code massively, straightening out logic and finally
 *              getting the bytes_written stuff working.
