	I'm guessing this is basically the same as o2cb.init, but using
configuration and constants used by OCF?  Coolness.
	Why does it need to 'default' to any stack?  o2cb.init gets the
answer out of /etc/sysconfig/o2cb, and I would assume OCF would have a
similar sort of thing.

	Yes.

	GPLv2 is exactly what we use.  You can remove the paragraph
about "If you didn't receive a copy of the GPL"; the FSF has moved, and
they recommend removing that paragraph.  Regarding Copyright, much of the
code comes from o2cb.init, which is Copyright Oracle 2005,2008.  Please
add that copyright.
