The following patch adds a TCP based communications layer
to the DLM which is compile time selectable. The existing SCTP
layer gives the advantage of allowing multihoming, whereas
the TCP layer has been heavily tested in previous versions of
the DLM and is known to be robust and therefore can be used as
a baseline for performance testing.

This changes the way the dlm handles user locks. The core dlm is now
aware of user locks so they can be dealt with more efficiently. There is
no more dlm_device module which previously managed its own duplicate copy
of every user lock.

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.
It implements VAX-style locking modes.
