Looks like order got mixed up: vhost_net header
is added by a follow-up patch. Will be fixed
in the next revision.

Semantically, I think making vhost it's own backend makes more sense 
from a user perspective.

I don't think it's a significant code change.

Hrm, I don't see a patch that introduces this function?  Am I missing 
something obvious?

It doesn't. Users mostly do not care that vhost is used: they just get
fast virtio and that's all.  Users do care about e.g. tap because they
need setup scripts, understand bridging etc.


Do you propose -net tap be replaced with -net vhost?  This means vhost will
need to get tap flags if it is attached to tap and raw flags if attached
to raw, etc.

A separate backend that only works with virtio frontend is also
ugly. OTOH an option that has effect only with virtio frontend
is pretty usual, vnet_hdr is one such example.
