Vhostuser is a Qemu feature that allows fastpath into the VM for userspace vSwitches. The changes are small and mostly contained to libvirt driver. Vhostuser support was proposed for Juno by Snabb switch guys but didn't make it, this implementation supports their usecase as well . As Nikola says, this is self-contained code, and a pretty simple bit of code to understand, so should be straightforward to merge. So I'm happy to sponsor it.

The patches are really non-invasive, and extremely contained, and have had several reviews. I cannot come up with a good reason to keep it out. This is also interesting for the NFV use-cases (mainly) so I'd like to see it happen on that account too - and thus will be happy to sponsor it.
