Almost 400 lines of changes is too much for me to review in a
single patch. Looking at the names, can't we split virtio VS
libvhost-user?

Ack.

I note you  ignored my comment regarding adding a 'Error **' argument in
the previous version:
911eef0c-d04f-2fcf-e78b-2475cd7af8f0@linaro.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/911eef0c-d04f-2fcf-e78b-2475cd7af8f0@linaro.org/

Sorry I missed those comments somehow :/
I'll check them and resend.

BR,
Albert
