Thanks for the quick implementation. Not sure if the following issues could be solved with this approach: - After we boot the slave VM, if we don't run the virtio-vhost-user driver (i.e. testpmd), then the master VM couldn't boot, because the booting of the virtio-net device relies on a negotiation with the virtio-vhost-user driver. - Suppose in the future there is also a kernel virtio-vhost-user driver as other PCI devices, can we unbind the kernel driver first, and then bind the device to the dpdk driver? A normal PCI device should be able to smoothly switch between the kernel driver and dpdk driver.
Best, Wei
