Yes, it's a request from me :)
Well, there may be few others also requested that.

The reason I had this asking is that, so far, we just have only one
vhost-user frontend, and that is QEMU. But we may have many backends,
I'm aware of 4 at the time writing, including the vubr from QEMU.
While we could do vhost-user client and reconnect implementation
on all backends, it's clear that implementing it in the only backend
(QEMU) introduces more benefits.

OTOH, I could implement DPDK vhost-user as client and try reconnect
there, if that could makes all stuff a bit easier.
