[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4 for 2.3] vhost-user live migration support

 Hello!

 May be not right, may be it can be done... Actually, i found what was wrong. qemu tries to feed features back to vhost-user via
VHOST_USER_SET_FEATURES, and DPDK barfs on the unknown bit. More tweaking is needed for qemu to do the trick correctly.

 Tried it, works fine, thank you.
 I have almost implemented the workaround in qemu... However now i start to think that you are right. Theoretically, the application
may want to suppress GUEST_ANNOUNCE for some reason. So, let it stay this way. Please include this bit into your v2.
