Yes, we need some support from QEMU: currently QEMU will not be able
to detect disconnection and hence will not establish the connection
when DPDK vhost restarts.
Following patchset from Marc resolves above issue.
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-05/msg01507.html
And note that unlike the vhost-user multiple queue support that depends
on some new vhost-uesr message from QEMU, this patchset does not depond
on QEMU.
