I think this should be a separate patch, independent of the newly added
start_opal_cmd.

start_opal_cmd and cmd_finalize don't really seem to match in terms
of naming.  I don't really care either way, but a little consistency
would be nice.

Normal Linux comment style would be:

	/*
	 * Every method call is followed by its parameters enclosed within
	 * OPAL_STARTLIST and OPAL_ENDLIST tokens. We automatically open the
	 * parameter list here and close it later in cmd_finalize.
