Please be explicit about "vhost-pci" vs "vhost-pci-net" in future emails. In this email you use "vhost-pci" to mean both things and it's likely to cause confusion. For example, MQ and DPDK PMD are related to vhost-pci-net. This is a general problem with all of vhost-user, not just vhost-pci. People sometimes focus solely on virtio-net. It causes layering violations and protocol limitations because they are not thinking about the virtio device model as a whole. Eventually virtio-gpu, virtio-scsi, etc should all work over vhost-pci so it's important to keep the virtio architecture in mind with a separation between the transport and devices.
