This was IZ 1312 in project gridengine.

To test a specific architecture, it should be
possible to specify which exec host shall be used
to perform the execd specific tests.

   ------- Additional comments from joga Fri Nov 17 01:39:57 -0700 2006 -------
Specifying a preferred architecture might also be an option, e.g. when we need
to test on multiple hosts of same architecture.

   ------- Additional comments from joga Fri Dec 22 00:51:23 -0700 2006 -------
Introduced a function "host_conf_get_best_exec_hosts",
that could be the place where to implement this rfe.

   ------- Additional comments from joga Wed Apr 4 23:33:35 -0700 2007 -------
Enhanced the function
host_conf_get_suited_hosts
to take
- a list of preferred architectures
- a list of selected architectures
- a list of excluded architectures

It returnes a specified number of hosts matching these criteria.

Added commandline switch "preferred_archs", which takes a list of architectures
that will be used as preferred architectures in host_conf_get_suited_hosts,
unless preferred architectures are specified in the function call to
host_conf_get_suited_hosts.
