This patch can be considered by itself. The second patch I am sending
will be the actual cluster log module, but these 2 patches don't
necessarily need to go together.

The logging API needs an extra function to make cluster mirroring
possible. This new function allows us to check whether a mirror
region is being recovered on another machine in the cluster. This
helps us prevent simultaneous recovery I/O and process I/O to the
same locations on disk.
Cluster-aware log modules will implement this function. Single
machine log modules will not. So, there is no performance
penalty for single machine mirrors.
