601	  and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
602	  standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
603	  infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
604	  an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables live migration of
605	  a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual
606	  datapath when the VF is unplugged.
