I'm saying that it's easy to add vfio vhost-pci support (for the PCI adapter I described) to DPDK. This patch series would require writing a completely new slave for vhost-pci because the device interface is so different from vhost-user.The main question is how appropriate is the vhost user protocol for passing to guests. And I am not sure at this point. Someone should go over vhost user messages and see whether they are safe to pass to guest. If most are then we can try the transparent approach. If most aren't then we can't and might as well use the proposed protocol which at least has code behind it.I have done that:
...
* VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE Set up BARs before sending a VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE to the guest.
It would require to filter out userspace_addr from the payload not to leak other QEMU process VAs to the guest. Maxime
