But it should be the default behavior for vhost-user, since guests using PMD doesn't support msi-x. [Test Case] create a vhost-user virtio backend without specifying the vhostforce op= tion, i.e. -netdev type=3Dvhost-user,id=3Dmynet1,chardev=3D start the VM vhost-user is not enabled [Regression Potential] * none vhost user nic doesn't support non msi guests(like pxe stage) by default. Vhost user nic can't fall back to qemu like normal vhost net nic does. So= we should enable it for non msi guests. The problem has been fix in qemu upstream - http://git.qemu.org/?p=3Dqemu.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D24f938a682d934b13386= 3eb421aac33592f7a09e.
