Hi, I don't know if they are related to the issue that is being seen,
but Yuanhan made some fixes in DPDK 16.04 regarding a malicious guest
affecting the host. rte_vhost_dequeue_burst() is showing in the stack
trace so it might worth testing with the latest code to see if it's the
same issue and has been fixed.
