[Linux-HA] Don't start all groups at once?

Thank you both for your suggestions. The real problem with my home grown
resource is that the "start" completes in a few seconds, but the initial
booting a VM load can be 30 seconds or so. I don't really see how or why
heartbeat should know about that. Except maybe if the behavior of this "4
at once" queue were configurable.

I'll play with these values and see how it works. BTW, what's the process
for getting a new resource script reviewed and submitted? Of course, I'm
assuming you all even want the VMwareServerVM resource.

One thing I did find interesting was that I had to make my "validate-all"
function pretty worthless. It was validating that a file exists, but that
file only exists if another resource (the FS resource in the same group)
has been started. It wasn't clear to me that validate-all should make it's
decisions based on information available when everything is stopped.
