new collection of cp2k hacks for intel/infiniband clusters.

[lml... at gmail.com]

Hi,

These days, I meet the problem that cp2k just run just one or two
steps, then it hangs there for hours without writing anything, even
errors . Then I patch Axel' hacks as suggested by Axel, now it can
run. The  subroutine m_mov() part really need Alex's patch for the
infiniband machine.  It will be really helpful if this can be taken in
the cvs.
