Major re-write of the CPU Management User and Administrator Guide (web
page) by Martin Perry, Bull.

PluginDir is a path. It shouldn't be an error to have duplicate
plugins in your path. Plus, the error is not helpful because it
doesn't specify which path is not being loaded. Therefore, just
remove the error and load the first plugin in the path as expected.

Do not treat the absence of a gres.conf file as a fatal error on systems

Counts can be altered by node_config_load() in the gres plugin.

The slurmctld code that processes job notify messages unecessarily
restricts these messages to be from the slurm user or root. This
patch allows users to send notifications to their own jobs.

Many cosmetic modifications to eliminate warning message from GCC version

salloc/mpirun does not play well together with task affinity socket binding.  The following example illustrates the problem.

[sulu] (slurm) mnp> salloc -p bones-only -N1-1 -n3 --cpu_bind=socket mpirun cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed_list
salloc: Granted job allocation 387
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An invalid physical processor id was returned ...

The problem is that with mpirun jobs Slurm launches only a single task, regardless of the value of -n. This confuses the socket binding logic in task affinity.  The result is that task affinity binds the task to only a single cpu, instead of all the allocated cpus on the socket.  When mpi attempts to bind to any of the other allocated cpus on the socket, it gets the "invalid physical processor id" error. Note that the problem may occur even if socket binding is not explicitly requested by the user.  If task/affinity is configured and the allocated CPUs are a whole number of sockets, Slurm will use "implicit auto binding" to sockets, triggering the problem.
Patch from Martin Perry (Bull).

Update reservation web page to describe mechanism to reserve CPUs rather than whole nodes and provide an example.

Avoid clearing a job's reason from JobHeldAdmin or JobHeldUser when it is
