DLAQPS computes a step of QR factorization with column pivoting
 of a real M-by-N matrix A by using Blas-3.  It tries to factorize
 NB columns from A starting from the row OFFSET+1, and updates all
 of the matrix with Blas-3 xGEMM.

 In some cases, due to catastrophic cancellations, it cannot
 factorize NB columns.  Hence, the actual number of factorized
 columns is returned in KB.

 Block A(1:OFFSET,1:N) is accordingly pivoted, but not factorized.

M

          M is INTEGER
          The number of rows of the matrix A. M >= 0.

N

          N is INTEGER
          The number of columns of the matrix A. N >= 0

OFFSET

          OFFSET is INTEGER
          The number of rows of A that have been factorized in
          previous steps.

NB

          NB is INTEGER
          The number of columns to factorize.

KB

          KB is INTEGER
          The number of columns actually factorized.

A

          A is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDA,N)
          On entry, the M-by-N matrix A.
          On exit, block A(OFFSET+1:M,1:KB) is the triangular
          factor obtained and block A(1:OFFSET,1:N) has been
          accordingly pivoted, but no factorized.
          The rest of the matrix, block A(OFFSET+1:M,KB+1:N) has
          been updated.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array A. LDA >= max(1,M).

JPVT

          JPVT is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
          JPVT(I) = K <==> Column K of the full matrix A has been
          permuted into position I in AP.

TAU

          TAU is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (KB)
          The scalar factors of the elementary reflectors.

VN1

          VN1 is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
          The vector with the partial column norms.

VN2

          VN2 is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N)
          The vector with the exact column norms.

AUXV

          AUXV is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (NB)
          Auxiliar vector.

F

          F is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (LDF,NB)
          Matrix F**T = L*Y**T*A.

LDF

          LDF is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array F. LDF >= max(1,N).
