Help with Intel compilation

Alfio,

I borrowed a Linux-x86-64-intel-mic.psmp which I know to be working 
somewhere else (we are regtesting that version now) for cp2k 4.1. It is 
definitely a lot better than before, but I still get some failures. I 
attach the arch file and error_summary. Any comments?
