The intend of failover is to allow to migrate a VM with a VFIO
networking card without disrupting the network operation by switching
to a virtio-net device during the migration.
This simple change allows to test failover with a simulated device
like e1000e rather than a vfio device, even if it's useless in real
life it can help to debug failover.
This is interesting to developers that want to test failover on
a system with no vfio device. Moreover it simplifies host networking
configuration as we can use the same bridge for virtio-net and
the other failover networking device.
Without this change the migration of a system configured with failover
fails with:
...
-device virtio-net-pci,id=virtionet0,failover=on,... \
-device e1000,failover_pair_id=virtionet0,... \
...
(qemu) migrate ...
Unknown ramblock "0000:00:01.1:00.0/e1000e.rom", cannot accept migration
error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'ram'
load of migration failed: Invalid argument
This happens because QEMU correctly unregisters the interface vmstate but
not the ROM one. This patch fixes that.
