That's correct.  There is a new proposal enhancing the protocol
which will require work on the DPDK proposal as well.  Since OVS
uses DPDK vhost-user library, those changes shouldn't affect much

Sorry for not being clear before. The goal here is to find out
if the OVS side is in the right direction.

Thanks for your feedback,
