Hi Fan,

Firstly, apologize for the very late review!

I think this is more complex than necessary. You could just add msg_handler
in the virtio_net struct and do:

		if (dev->msg_handler)
			ret = dev->msg_handler(dev, &msg, fd);
		else
			ret = -1;

That's weird, we should list all VHOST_USER messages here.
