Yes there is. It's called the 'nozzle' device and works in corosync >= 
3.0.2.

It creates a pseudo device that passes all traffic through the knet 
transport, so you get the redundancy of multiple links transparently. 
You don't get join/leave up/down notifications like CPG (because it's an 
interface not an API) but you can use the API if you need those.

I'm not sure if it's supported in pcs yet, but you just add the 
information too corosync.conf (on all nodes):

nozzle {
	name: noz01
	ipaddr 192.168.10.0
	ipprefix: 24
}

See corosync.conf(5) for more information.
