A note:  None of these values do anything interesting on a PC.  These are all
only valid for IRIX.  If you don't define the sysctrl_type, I think everything
will work OK.   If you have hack the code a little, turn on a #define and add a
shared library, then you can define a "stonith" type system controller.  [This
is how you have to do it for now - sorry].  You should also be able to give a
value of null (I think).

If you don't have any way of resetting your nodes (which is what this is about),
then you should either not set the system controller type, or set it to null (I
think).
