You still haven't explained why it needs to be this way. what exactly is the
shortcomming with leaving netpoll enabled on all slaves, regardless of state?
It should be sufficient if, during a failover in a mode where the inactive slave
should not tx data, that you simply clear the slave __LINK_STATE_START bit. That will
prevent higher layers from sending any queued data without you needing to muck
about with netpoll state.
