[dm-devel] mirroring: [patch 4 of 6] device failure tolerance

This patch adds the components necessary for clustering support.  It 
introduces a new log function - is_remote_recovering().  With this 
function, we can check if other machines are recovering a region, which 
means we can not simultaneously write.  This function displaces the 
former idea of having in_sync() return more that two states - which 
would have changed its predicate nature.
