Thanks for that info.

The only spurious interrupt that I think we need is one when vhost-user
reconnects. That would be to cover the case where the vswitch is restarted
after writing used->idx but before sending the interrupt.

Or perhaps there is a better solution to that case?

Looking forward to getting an upstream vhost-user reconnect. one thing at a
time.. :)
