I'm using clvm and want to activate all available volume groups as soon as 
clvm comes up. It simplifies the configuration if I can handle multiple 
groups in the same pacemaker primitive.

My Xen primitives depend on the LVM primitive that hosts their filesystem. 
It's possible a Xen VM might depend on a volume from more than one volume 
group, or an admin might decide to move a VM from one VG to another. 
Supporting multiple VGs in the LVM primitive means I can still require 
storage to be available before starting a VM, without coupling my 
pacemaker configuration so tightly to the storage layout.

OK, I'll split it.
