For most of these calls we can just pass NULL through to the fallback
function as the sb_dev. The only cases where we cannot are the cases where
we might be dealing with either an upper device or a driver that would
have configured things to support an sb_dev itself.
The only driver that has any significant change in this patch set should be
ixgbe as we can drop the redundant functionality that existed in both the
ndo_select_queue function and the fallback function that was passed through
to us.

This patch makes it so that instead of passing a void pointer as the
accel_priv we instead pass a net_device pointer as sb_dev. Making this
change allows us to pass the subordinate device through to the fallback
function eventually so that we can keep the actual code in the
ndo_select_queue call as focused on possible on the exception cases.

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.
