Use the registration/notification framework supported by the generic

Why was this merged? It was never signed off by any of the netvsc maintainers,
and there were still issues unresolved.
There are also namespaces issues I am fixing and this breaks them.
Will start my patch set with a revert for this. Sorry
As long as you finish the patch set with re-integrating with failover,
that's fine IMHO.
I suspect it's easier to add the code to failover though - namespace
things likely affect virtio as well. Lookup by ID would be an optional
feature for virtio, but probably a useful one - I won't ask you
I would think for production uses this is a required feature and
should be enabled by default.
Venu (cc'ed) is working on the group ID stuff currently for pairing
virtio and passthrough devices. Would appreciate feedback on the group
ID proposal on virtio-dev.

to add it to virtio but it could be a mode in failover
that virtio will activate down the road. And reducing the number of
times we look cards up based on ID can only be a good thing.
