	  Select this if you want to create network between two
	  computers over a Thunderbolt cable. The driver supports Apple
	  ThunderboltIP protocol and allows communication with any host
	  supporting the same protocol including Windows and macOS.

	  To compile this driver a module, choose M here. The module will be
	  called thunderbolt-net.

	help
	  This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create
	  and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
	  standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
	  infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable
526
	  an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables live migration of
527 528 529
	  a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual
	  datapath when the VF is unplugged.
