Attached is a very large patch that adds support for running a
distributed Autotest service. Previously, the scheduler could only
execute autoservs locally and all results were written directly to the
local filesystem. This placed a limit on the number of machines that
could be concurrently tested by a single Autotest service instance due
to the strain of running many autoserv processes on a single machine.
With this change, the scheduler can spread autoserv processes among a
number of machines and gather all results to a single results
repository machine. This allows vastly improved scalability for a
single Autotest service instance. See
http://autotest.kernel.org/wiki/DistributedServerSetup for more
details.
Note that the single-server setup is still supported and the global
configuration defaults to this setup, so existing service instances
should continue to run.
