Is there a grand plan for FC failover?

I see that 2.6.x kernels now have the qla2xxx driver in the mainline,
but without the failover code.

What is the reason for that? Is there a plan provide failover facilities
at a higher level which will be usable with all suitable low-level
drivers and hardware?

I'm very much in favour of using drivers which are developed in the
kernel mainline but I have an application which needs failover so I
might be forced back to the qlogic-distributed code.

Cheers,

Simon.
