These options were used for particle decomposition in the tpr file. Gromacs 4 
default method is domain decomposition, but as far as I remember, PD is still  
optional. The options can be set during run-time so that a tpr input file 
itself is independent of the parallel setup during runtime (the output may 
depend upon the runtime environement). Thus you should find all options in 
mdrun. The -np switch isn't required anymore (for mpi).

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
