So may be using that flag inside opal_paffinity_base_get_processor_info() 
would be a better fix than the one I'm proposing in my patch.

I found a bunch of other places where things are managed as in 
get_ib_dev_distance().

Just doing a grep in the sources, I could find:
  . init_maffinity() in btl/sm/btl_sm.c
  . vader_init_maffinity() in btl/vader/btl_vader.c
  . get_ib_dev_distance() in btl/wv/btl_wv_component.c

So I think the flag Brice is talking about should definitely be the fix.

Nadia
