Thanks Sean.

Bharat,
  Pls check the below scenarios with sean's patch:

1) enable_plugin glusterfs set & CINDER_ENABLED_BACKENDS unset - it should
pick from plugin
2) enable_plugin glusterfs set & CINDER_ENABLED_BACKENDS set - it should
pick from localrc
3) enable_plugin glusterfs set & set some backend-specific var not touched
by lib/cinder (eg: GLUSTERFS_LOOPBACK_SIZE) and see if it picks up correctly
4) enable_plugin glusterfs unset - it should pick cinder default

thanx,
deepak
