I was acutally asking Peter. Sorry for not making it clear and

Note quite sure. I found Thibaut submitted a patch to send
VHOST_USER_SEND_RARP request after migration is done months
ago. Thibaut, would you please elaborate it a bit more what
should be done on vhost-user backend? To construct a gratuitous
ARP request and broadcast it?
