So if QEMU sends this message but the DPDK version does not support it
yet, vhost_user_msg_handler() will return an error ("vhost read
incorrect message") and the socket will be closed.

How do we overcome this? I think we really need a spec update ASAP, 
before QEMU v2.12 is out (-rc1 already).

Do you have time to take care of this?

Thanks,
Maxime
