> This patch adds a new function to the EAL API:

>
> The function indicates if a primary process is alive right now.
> This functionality is implemented by testing for a write-
> lock on the config file, and the function tests for a lock.

> The use case for this functionality is that a secondary
> process can wait until a primary process starts by polling
> the function and waiting. When the primary is running, the
> secondary continues to poll to detect if the primary process
> has quit unexpectedly, the secondary process can detect this.
