Do you know that this breaks upward compatibility ? i.e. this now
assumes that for instance in active backup mode, only the active
slave registers the multicast addresses (i.e. multicast_mode = 1)
while the default from the very beginning was all NIC (multicast_mode = 0).
And this removes the possiblity of disabling multicast stuff.
But if everyone is OK ... (I'd be since I currently only use
multicast_mode = 1 ;-)
