Here is the solution I propose. If you think there is any problem
with it, please let me know asap.
Move the progress function from the BML layer back into the PML.
Then the PML will have a way to check on it's pending requests, and
progress them accordingly. This solution offer the same number of
function calls as what we have today, and should only minimally
affect the performances (one more if in the progress function).
Note that this would *not* force a progress function to exist in cm --
which (IIRC) was one of the reasons that the PML progress function was
removed. The way George described it to me, the pml base would check
for != NULL before registering it.
