This is broken if non-ethernet devices such as Infiniband are present.

There is check to make sure that a slave and failover devices are of the same type in
net_failover_slave_register()

	failover_dev = net_failover_get_bymac(slave_dev->perm_addr, &nfo_ops);
        if (!failover_dev)
                goto done;

        if (failover_dev->type != slave_dev->type)
                goto done;

Do you think this is not good enough? I had an explicit check for ARPHRD_ETHER in
earlier patchsets, but removed it based on Jiri's comment.
