I believe both support Galera replication.

I regard a VIP as being entirely independent of replicating database content.

Yes, but if you are trying to replicate database content, how does pacemaker 
help with this?  Pacemaker can quite happily provide you with a floating 
virtual IP address which is guarenteed to be on one of your database servers, 
but it doesn't (as far as I know) have any mechanism for replicating the 
database content between those servers.

I would say that DRBD is a solid solution provided you only have two nodes and 
they have very good connectivity between them.

However, replicating the data at disk level is a very different matter from 
having a DBMS such as MySQL understanding what is on the disk (and for that 
matter, what it has cached in RAM).

I cannot comment on that; maybe someone else can.
