[RFC PATCH 0/6] virtio-net failover cleanup and new features

[Laurent Vivier <lvivier@redhat.com>]

This series moves the code used by virtio-net failover from the
virtio-net device to the PCI subsystem.

Doing that, we can use failover with a regular QEMU PCI device
(we can add the function call to unregister the ROM vmstate) and we
can also use this code to unplug a PCI card before migration
and plug it back after migration without using a failover
device (of course, connectivity is lost during all the migration).
In contrary of failover, this does not need support from the
guest system to work.

Laurent Vivier (6):
  qdev: add an Error parameter to the DeviceListener hide_device()
    function
  qdev/qbus: remove failover specific code
  failover: virtio-net: remove failover_primary_hidden flag
  failover: pci: move failover hotplug/unplug code into pci subsystem
  failover: pci: unregister ROM on unplug
  pci: automatically unplug a PCI card before migration
