remus: support DRBD disk backends
DRBD disk backends can be used instead of tapdisk backends for Remus.
This requires a Remus style disk replication protocol (asynchronous
replication with output buffering at backup), that is not available in
standard DRBD code. A modified version that supports this new replication
protocol is available from git://aramis.nss.cs.ubc.ca/drbd-8.3-remus
Use of DRBD disk backends provides a means for efficient resynchronization
of data after the crashed machine comes back online. Since DRBD allows for
online resynchronization, a DRBD backed Remus VM does not have to be stopped
or shutdown while the disks are resynchronizing. Once resynchronization is complete,
Remus can be started at will.
