**  ckrbrd_hs_dr_pio_test__verify_data():
**
**    Examine the supplied buffer to see if it contains the
**    expected data.  Return true if it does, and false
**      otherwise.
**
**    The supplied buffer is presumed to this process's slice
**    of the target data set.  Each such slice will be an
**    n-cube of rank (rank -1) and the supplied edge_size with
**    origin (mpi_rank, 0, ... , 0) in the target data set.
**
**    Further, the buffer is presumed to be the result of reading
**    or writing a checker board selection of an m (1 <= m <
**      rank) dimensional slice through this processes slice
**    of the target data set.  Also, this slice must be parallel
**    to the fastest changing indices.
**
**    It is further presumed that the buffer was zeroed before
**    the read/write, and that the full target data set (i.e.
**    the buffer/data set for all processes) was initialized
**      with the natural numbers listed in order from the origin
**    along the fastest changing axis.
**
**      Thus for a 20x10x10 dataset, the value stored in location
**    (x, y, z) (assuming that z is the fastest changing index
**    and x the slowest) is assumed to be:
**
**        (10 * 10 * x) + (10 * y) + z
**
**    Further, supposing that this is process 10, this process's
**    slice of the dataset would be a 10 x 10 2-cube with origin
**    (10, 0, 0) in the data set, and would be initialize (prior
**    to the checkerboard selection) as follows:
**
**        1000, 1001, 1002, ... 1008, 1009
**        1010, 1011, 1012, ... 1018, 1019
**          .     .     .         .     .
**          .     .     .         .     .
**          .     .     .         .     .
**        1090, 1091, 1092, ... 1098, 1099
**
**    In the case of a read from the processors slice of another
**    data set of different rank, the values expected will have
**    to be adjusted accordingly.  This is done via the
**    first_expected_val parameter.
**
**    Finally, the function presumes that the first element
**    of the buffer resides either at the origin of either
**    a selected or an unselected checker.  (Translation:
**    if partial checkers appear in the buffer, they will
**    intersect the edges of the n-cube opposite the origin.)
