It actually does say that, and ... I even changed it already to say the
ring is also started when receiving the new VHOST_USER_VRING_KICK
message:

   Client must start ring upon receiving a kick (that is, detecting that
   file descriptor is readable) on the descriptor specified by
   ``VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_KICK`` (or receiving the in-band message
   ``VHOST_USER_VRING_KICK`` if negotiated) and stop ring upon receiving
   ``VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE``.

Makes sense, mostly I just need to actually *implement* that.
