Longer term there are pros and cons to keeping the vhost library. Personally
I think it would make sense to remove sometime as trying to maintain two API's
has a cost, but I think adding a deprecation notice in DPDK 2.2 for removal in
DPDK 2.3 is very premature. Until it's proven *in the field* that the vhost PMD
is a suitable fully functioning replacement for the vhost library and users
have time to migrate, then please don't remove.
