This is a useful comment but I don't know if it makes sense to include it in the vhost_user.c file.
Particularly at the top where it looks like a general descriptive comment for the file.
It would probably be better in the vhost-user section of the programmer's guide:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/prog_guide/vhost_lib.html
Also, the subject line shouldn't include an underscore.
