Everything you say below has been implemented for almost 3 months (r5233
on 2013/01/07).

v1.7 NEWS bullet was updated to:
+ The HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable now excludes the components whose
names are prefixed with '-'.

Replace HWLOC_COMPONENTS=^foo,bar with -foo,-bar
This way we can exclude some and force others at the same time
