     net: Introduce net_failover driver
     
     The net_failover driver 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.
     
     The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The
     original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and
     a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave
     netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same
     'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev.
     The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when
     it is available with link up and running.
     
     This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency
     datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with
     direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF
     is unplugged.
