I'm not familiar enough with the software itself to comment on the
patch.
But I don't think yours is a valid answer, and I was the one who asked
that the question is sent to the list.
I merged the vhost-user protocol so we can support multiple backends.
Someone wants to work on another backend, more power to them,
Way I read it the question is whether there's a bug in vhost in qemu,
and how to use vhost-user, and this seems relevant on our list.
