Don't bother; it has not been supported by WTI for years.  We don't have
anybody using it on RHEL5 or later.  I think adding it to RHEL5

Interestingly enough, this is the one place where we have a QE-stamped
(Brandon P.) feature that is not supported due to the OTHER product
(RHEVM) not being stable at this time. :o

Cisco was supposed to perform QE and provide feedback for fence_ifmib
