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