After a kexec the veth driver will fail when trying to register with the
Hypervisor because the previous kernel has not unregistered.

So if the registration fails, we unregister and then try again.

Looks good to me, and has been around for a couple of months.
This seems completely bonkers to me:

	are resources available?
	if no
		free resources
		try again

It makes resource checking pointless.
