Jan Friesse e8b143595c CPG model_initialize and ringid + members callback
Patch adds new function to initialize cpg, cpg_model_initialize. Model
is set of callbacks. With this function, future addions of models
should  be possible without changing the ABI.

Patch also contains callback in CPG_MODEL_V1 for notification about
Totem membership changes.

.SH NAME
cpg_overview \- CPG library overview
.SH OVERVIEW
The CPG library is delivered with the corosync project. This library is used
to create distributed applications that operate properly during cluster
partitions, merges, and faults.
.PP
The library provides a mechanism to:
* handle abstraction for multiple instances of a CPG library in one application
* join one or more groups
* leave one or more groups
* Deliver messages to members of that group
* Deliver configuration changes
.PP
.SH SECURITY
If encryption is enabled in corosync.conf, the CPG library will encrypt and
authenticate message contents. Applications must run as the ais user to be
validated by corosync on IPC connection, otherwise they will be unable to
access the corosync services.
