could you elaborate more on what src command line migrating to what dst command 
line?

The src cmdline:
    $QEMU -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 /path/to/img \
      -m 2G \
      -netdev tap,id=mynet1,vhost=on \
      -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 ...

The dst cmdline:
    $QEMU -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 /path/to/img \
      -m 2G -numa node,memdev=pc.ram -mem-prealloc \
-object memory-backend-file,id=pc.ram,size=2G,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
      -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
      -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
      -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
      -incoming tcp:0:4444 ...

Thanks,
