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