Hi Bing,

There was no discussion, but also there was no comment to the patch that removes
the support, nobody objected it.

The KNI vhost is from times there was no vhost support exists, now it is
possible to use vhost.

And there is no plan to put it back. Are you an user of that feature?

Thanks,
ferruh
