Dear all,

I would like to make a feature request to LAM and its bhost file.

In a bhost file it is allowed to specify the number of CPUs on a
host, e.g.:

node1 cpu=2
node2 cpu=1
node4 cpu=4

In LAM 7.0.6 a line

server cpu=0

is equivalent to

server cpu=1

I think it would be a useful feature if "cpu=0" would be handled in
the following way:

* A lamd is started on this node.
* It's not possible to start any MPI-application on this node.
