[Linux-cluster] Fencing using iDRAC/ Dell M600

It turns out that the right way to do this is use what Dell call
"CMC"- a device that manages all the blades, not just one (just like
the DRAC/MC). This is like a mix of the Dell DRAC/MC and DRAC 5 in
fence_drac.
I've written a patch that adds support for the CMC to fence_drac. This
is my first patch ever using git, so hopefully it's good for you.
This has been tested on a CMC, but it also changes the code for a Dell
1950. I'm going to get a 1950 and test it tomorrow.
Feedback welcomed!
David
