My preference would be not to introduce a new flag unless there is any
usecase where we want a IFF_FAILOVER_SLAVE type of device to support 2
different behaviors.

[PATCH net-next v12 1/5] net: Introduce generic failover module
The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers
to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops
are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/
unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices
with the same mac address as the failover netdev.
This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated

event handling code is based on the existing netvsc implementation.
It exposes 2 sets of interfaces to the paravirtual drivers.

[PATCH net-next v11 3/5] 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 mananges 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
