to support adding and removing memory regions without resetting
the whole guest memory map.
+* **Added VDUSE API version 1 support in vhost library.**
+
+ Updated VDUSE (vDPA Device in Userspace) support with API version 1 features
+ to enable live migration:
+
+ * Added Address Space ID (ASID) support for multiple independent address spaces
+ per device, enabling better isolation and support for virtqueue groups.
+ * Added virtqueue group support to assign different virtqueues to separate
+ address spaces (e.g., control queue vs data queues).
+ * Added ``VDUSE_F_QUEUE_READY`` feature for explicit dataplane queue
+ readiness signaling, ensuring proper device initialization ordering
+ during live migration.
+ * Added ``VDUSE_F_SUSPEND`` feature to reliably suspend virtqueue processing
+ and fetch virtqueue state during live migration.
+ * Added ``VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS`` support for link status reporting and
+ gratuitous ARP signaling in VDUSE network devices.
+
* **Added LinkData sxe2 ethernet driver.**
Added network driver for the LinkData network adapters.
