    This patch implements transparent fail over from synthetic NIC to
    SR-IOV virtual function NIC in Hyper-V environment. It is a better
    alternative to using bonding as is done now. Instead, the receive and
    transmit fail over is done internally inside the driver.
    
    Using bonding driver has lots of issues because it depends on the
    script being run early enough in the boot process and with sufficient
    information to make the association. This patch moves all that
    functionality into the kernel.
