[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv3 2/2] vhost: disable on tap link down

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

qemu makes it possible to disable link at tap
which is not communicated to the guest but
causes all packets to be dropped.

When vhost-net is enabled, vhost needs to be aware of both the virtio
link_down and the peer link_down. we switch to userspace emulation when
either is down.
