[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 14/17] Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command line

[Antonios Motakis]

The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.

Additional checks for validity:
  - requires `-mempath ...,share=on`
  - requires `-device virtio-net-*`

The `vhostforce` option is uset to force vhost-net when we deal with no-MSIX
guest.
