aoe: failover remote interface based on aoe_deadsecs parameter
The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the AoE block device is considered to have failed. Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've tried to recover by sending to a different remote port. As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple MAC addresses. However, note that "target" in the driver code and comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to send packets".
