Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] vhost example based on user space vhost library.

["Xie, Huawei" <huawei.xie@intel.com>]

Hi Maryam:
This patch removes eventfd kernel module from example. 
Qemu user space vhost support is within progress. This is our existing vhost implementation. With the new implementation, there should be no or minor change to the library API.
