[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: fix build error for old kernels

[Yuanhan Liu]

VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_ANNOUNCE is a new feature introduced since kernel
v3.5. For older kernels (or more precisely, old distributions), we
could simply define it manually, to fix the "macro not defined" error.

Fixes: d293dac8f30e ("vhost: claim support of guest announce")
