[Linux-cluster] iLO device as fencing device

[Coman Iliut]

We are using it, too with good results. We had to write our own fencing
method. The one supplied is too slow. ILO allows you to send a RESET command
that is faster.

Also, we wanted a more efficient use of the secure socket (the default
fence_ilo lets the socket time out, then reconnects, etc) and we wanted to
detect the case when node 1 cannot access the ILO of node 2 because node 2
is not there anymore (powered off, for example) or because node 1 lost
network access.
