!> SSYTRF_AA_2STAGE computes the factorization of a real symmetric matrix A
!> using the Aasen's algorithm.  The form of the factorization is
!>
!>    A = U**T*T*U  or  A = L*T*L**T
!>
!> where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
!> triangular matrices, and T is a symmetric band matrix with the
!> bandwidth of NB (NB is internally selected and stored in TB( 1 ), and T is 
!> LU factorized with partial pivoting).
!>
!> This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS.
!> 

UPLO

!>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
!>          = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
!>          = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
!> 

N

!>          N is INTEGER
!>          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
!> 

A

!>          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
!>          On entry, the symmetric matrix A.  If UPLO = 'U', the leading
!>          N-by-N upper triangular part of A contains the upper
!>          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly lower
!>          triangular part of A is not referenced.  If UPLO = 'L', the
!>          leading N-by-N lower triangular part of A contains the lower
!>          triangular part of the matrix A, and the strictly upper
!>          triangular part of A is not referenced.
!>
!>          On exit, L is stored below (or above) the subdiagonal blocks,
!>          when UPLO  is 'L' (or 'U').
!> 

LDA

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

TB

!>          TB is REAL array, dimension (LTB)
!>          On exit, details of the LU factorization of the band matrix.
!> 

LTB

!>          LTB is INTEGER
!>          The size of the array TB. LTB >= 4*N, internally
!>          used to select NB such that LTB >= (3*NB+1)*N.
!>
!>          If LTB = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
!>          routine only calculates the optimal size of LTB, 
!>          returns this value as the first entry of TB, and
!>          no error message related to LTB is issued by XERBLA.
!> 

IPIV

!>          IPIV is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>          On exit, it contains the details of the interchanges, i.e.,
!>          the row and column k of A were interchanged with the
!>          row and column IPIV(k).
!> 

IPIV2

!>          IPIV2 is INTEGER array, dimension (N)
!>          On exit, it contains the details of the interchanges, i.e.,
!>          the row and column k of T were interchanged with the
!>          row and column IPIV(k).
!> 

WORK

!>          WORK is REAL workspace of size LWORK
!> 

LWORK

!>          LWORK is INTEGER
!>          The size of WORK. LWORK >= N, internally used to select NB
!>          such that LWORK >= N*NB.
!>
!>          If LWORK = -1, then a workspace query is assumed; the
!>          routine only calculates the optimal size of the WORK array,
!>          returns this value as the first entry of the WORK array, and
!>          no error message related to LWORK is issued by XERBLA.
!> 

INFO

!>          INFO is INTEGER
!>          = 0:  successful exit
!>          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value.
!>          > 0:  if INFO = i, band LU factorization failed on i-th column
