[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 9/9] vhost: only use vDPA config workaround if needed

[Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>]

Now that we have Virtio device status support, let's
only use the vDPA workaround if it is not supported.

This patch also document why Virtio device status
protocol feature support is strongly advised.
