For now, just put fence_xvmd in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

File a bug against cman and assign it to me.  It fell off my radar.  It
looks like basically, we should -

* start fence_xvmd if enabled in the config (don't do the xm list check)

* fence_xvmd should wait (maybe for some timeout - 5 minutes?  10
minutes?) for xend to come up, and die if it doesn't start (so as to not
keep running for no reason).

What do people think is reasonable for a /default/ timeout-on-startup of
fence_xvmd?
