* [PATCH 1/1] vhost: Added pad cleanup if vnet_hdr is not present.

When the Qemu launched with vhost but without tap vnet_hdr,
vhost tries to copy vnet_hdr from socket iter with size 0
to the page that may contain some trash.
That trash can be interpreted as unpredictable values for
vnet_hdr.
That leads to dropping some packets and in some cases to
stalling vhost routine when the vhost_net tries to process
packets and fails in a loop.

Qemu options:
  -netdev tap,vhost=on,vnet_hdr=off,...

Hmm need to analyse it to make sure there are no cases where we leak
some data to guest here in case where sock_hlen is set ...

Hi all,
Ok, let me prepare a new patch v2, where I'll write a
