When I take a working kernel config, add the patches then do
make oldconfig

It is not autoselecting FAILOVER, it prompts me for it. This means
if user says no then a non-working netvsc device is made.

I see
   Generic failover module (FAILOVER) [M/y/?] (NEW)

So the user is given an option to either build as a Module or part of the
kernel. 'n' is not an option.
