I identify one vq_index issue here when it is the case of VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL,
The vq_index is not initialized before it is used here, so it could be a random 
value.
It leads to error in vhost, when this random value is passed to vhost and vhost 
use this random value to set the vring call.
 
I have a quick fix for this, code changes as the following:
diff --git a/hw/net/vhost_net.c b/hw/net/vhost_net.c
index 4e3a061..2fbdb93 100644

         qemu_chr_add_handlers(s->chr, NULL, NULL, net_vhost_user_event, s);
     }

Would you guys have a look at this issue?
And I also met other issues when I try to run with 2 virtio ports, each one has 
2 queues
But not root cause yet, need further investigate,
So I think it may have more issues in qemu for vhost user multiple queues 
enabling.
