Do what you want to other devices but leave netvsc alone.
Adding these failover ops does not reduce the code size, and really is
no benefit. The netvsc device driver needs to be backported to several
other distributions and doing this makes that harder.
I will NAK patches to change to common code for netvsc especially the
three device model. MS worked hard with distro vendors to support transparent
mode, ans we really can't have a new model; or do backport.
failover_ops are specifically added to support both 2-netdev and 3-netdev models
This patch doesn't change netvsc model. It still keeps its 2-netdev model. From
netvsc, point of view it is just moving some code from netvsc to the failover
module
and also i think the eventhandling and getbymac routines are more optimal.
Plus, DPDK is now dependent on existing model.
