[RFC] nodemanager, ocfs2, dlm

Some of the comments about the dlm concerned how it's configured (from user space.) In particular, there was interest in seeing the dlm and ocfs2 use common methods for their configuration. The first area I'm looking at is how we get addresses/ids of other nodes. Currently, the dlm uses an ioctl

Hi Ingo, (I searched the list for rt realtime x86_64 x86-64 before posting this, so I hope it's not a duplicate). I've noticed -31 compiles without notable error or warning on x86-64, so I thought maybe it was a valid time to file a bug report about it not working. The machine currently runs 2
