 Dear Eyvaz,

 Is your option conceptually different from this commit:
http://www.democritos.it:8888/O-sesame/chngview?cn=5136

"Added new input variables (iq1, iq2, iq3) to the PH code such that it
is now possible to run the PH code for just one k point out of the full
dispersion grid (specified by nq1, nq2, nq3). This way there is no need
to run PW with 'phonon' first for a non-Gamma k point, and perhaps,
there are some other positive (or negative?) effects that I am not
aware of."
