Summary:                    [patch] bad master selection
Description: 
Current dahdi master handling work in the following way:
The first SPAN become a master
If a new registered !!! SPAN is preferred , it is the new master
If a span is unregistered - the new master is the first available span
If master SPAN is in alarm state - the new master is the first non in
alarm state SPAN

So
1. dahdi-dummy once loaded will be the master forever.
2. even not-running SPAN can be a master
3. master implementation is ugly...
