Wouldn't it possible to do the following command from the RA to get its
current failcount ?

  crm_failcount --resource "$OCF_RESOURCE_INSTANCE" -G

Moreover, how would you track the previous failures were all from the start
action? I suppose you will have to track internally the failcount yourself,
isn't it? Maybe you could track failure in some fashion using private
attributes (eg. start_attempt and last_start_ts)?
