Hmmm, I think this explains the initial problem I saw, after doing
setup; cleanup; setup
The first setup will bump up the shmmax.
The cleanup will remove ovirt-engine.conf. However if you don't reboot,
shmmax remains boosted.
The second setup will detect that shmmax is fine, and not create
ovirt-engine.conf.
A subsequent reboot will revert shmmax to the default value, and
postgresql will fail to come up.
