Do we want this functionality?
Yes, I think it makes sense. Moving this to a separate process isn't that useful for virtio-input, other devices like virtio-gpu will benefit much more from it from a security and performance point of view. It still is useful for (a) testing the vhost-user infrastructure and (b) as relatively simple example. cheers, Gerd
