[Antonio]
Actually I didn't try with libvirt. I also saw that it didn't crash when the
vhostuser ports were set with type=dpdkvhostuser.
Below is the stacktrace on a crash, ie when setting type=dpdkvhostuserclient:
Thread 26 "pmd124" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

[Antonio] sure, I can return EEXIST from netdev_dpdk_mempool_configure().
