/* Repeatedly retrieve the endpoint for the driver label, and see if it is a
* different, valid endpoint. If retrieval fails at first, we have to wait.
* We use polling, as opposed to a DS subscription, for a number of reasons:
* 1) DS supports only one subscription per process, and our main program may
* already have a subscription;
* 2) if we block on receiving a notification from DS, we cannot impose an
* upper bound on the retry time;
* 3) temporarily subscribing and then unsubscribing may cause leftover DS
* notifications, which the main program would then have to deal with.
* As of writing, unsubscribing from DS is not possible at all, anyway.
*
* In the normal case, the driver's label/endpoint mapping entry disappears
* completely for a short moment, before being replaced with the new mapping.
* Hence, failure to retrieve the entry at all does not constitute permanent
* failure. In fact, there is no way to determine reliably that a driver has
* failed permanently in the current approach. For this we simply rely on the
* retry limit.
