568	  This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create
569	  and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
570	  standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
571	  infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
572	  an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables live migration of
573	  a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual
574	  datapath when the VF is unplugged.
