As stated before, it has nothing to do with VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES.
You seems forgot to change the commit log.

I would reword the commit log to someting like following:

    When virtio_user is used with OVS-DPDK (with mq disabled), it cannot
    receive any packets. This is because no queue is enabled at all when
    mq is disabled.
    
    To fix it, we should consistently make sure the 1st queue is
    enabled,which is also the behaviour QEMU takes.

Series applied to dpdk-next-virtio, with above commit reword.

Thanks.
