[Users] ovirt-node on Gentoo

[Doron Fediuck]

Adding vdsm-devel, which is where such changes should be considered.

It looks like in the future this may be a good choice, but we'll
still need to support existing implementations, as well as colleague
distro's who still do not have a proper systemd implementation.
BTW, Gentoo is using ~29-r1 which is still unstable in portage tree.

Any input from vdsm dev's on systemd scripts?
