It's a separate issue but sufficiently related that its worth rehashing 
now - getting rid of it first would presumably simplify the remaining 
code quite a bit.

At least my personal experience with it has been that vhost-cuse only 
ever worked once in a full moon with stars aligned just so, and with 
just the right magic kernel versions in host and guest.

My 5c? Just put the poor thing out of its misery already :)
