/* This provides a net_failover interface for paravirtual drivers to
 * provide an alternate datapath by exporting APIs to create and
 * destroy a upper 'net_failover' netdev. The upper dev manages the
 * original paravirtual interface as a 'standby' netdev and uses the
 * generic failover infrastructure to register and manage a direct
 * attached VF as a 'primary' netdev. This enables live migration of
 * a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual
 * datapath when the VF is unplugged.
 *
 * Some of the netdev management routines are based on bond/team driver as
 * this driver provides active-backup functionality similar to those drivers.
