First of all, Thanks to review the patches.

Yes, it does require external config to setup in the first place.
e.g: openvswitch creates the relevant vhostuser unix sockets, then
qemu connects to them as backend of virtual nic to request service.
 
eventhough it replies on external app to create the unix sockets, But
what I thought is that the patch provides a convenience way to help
users to review and configure this kind of virtual nic.
 
Thanks,
Lin
