[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature bit to


From: Sridhar Samudrala
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu: Introduce VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature bit to virtio_net
Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 16:09:54 -0700

This feature bit can be used by hypervisor to indicate virtio_net device to
act as a standby for another device with the same MAC address.

I tested this with a small change to the patch to mark the STANDBY feature 
'true'
by default as i am using libvirt to start the VMs.
Is there a way to pass the newly added feature bit 'standby' to qemu via libvirt
XML file?
