OK, this generally looks quite neat. There is one significant bug,
however:

You need to do a proper pull off the iovec; you can't simply assume
this. I'm working on fixing qemu, too.
linux/drivers/vhost/net.c simply skips the header, you want something
which actually copies it from userspace:
/* Returns 0, -EFAULT or -EINVAL (too short) */
int copy_from_iovec_user(void *dst, size_t len, struct iovec *iov, int iov_nr);
int copy_to_iovec_user(struct iovec *iov, int iov_nr, const void *src, size_t
len);
These consume the iov in place. You could pass struct iovec **iov and
int * if you wanted to be really efficient (otherwise you have
zero-length iov entries at the front after you've pulled things off).
This goes away:

This becomes a simple assignment:

> + req->iov = &vq->iov[BLK_HDR + 1];
This one actually requires iteration, since you should handle the case
where the last iov is zero length:

> + req->status = vq->iov[iov_nr + 1].iov_base;
This becomes copy_to_iovec_user:

This becomes copy_from_iovec_user:

The rest looks OK, at a glance.
Thanks,
