Use cases?

This is asked by Stefano Brivio to allow libvirt to detect if connection to passt is lost and to restart passt.

I have also a patch to add a "reconnect=seconds" option, but I didn't want to add it to this series.


Could similar event signalling be useful for other kinds of netdev
backends?

I was wondering, but it becomes more complicated to be generic.

Thanks,
Laurent
