The goals of this series is to provide more flexibility to external backends to implement their specific vhost-user request handling without having to patch vhost-user library.
First patch implements a new API for external backend to advertize its specific protocol features to vhost-user master. Second patch ensures a request not handled by the vhost-user library but by the external backend only will not be treated as an error or make the vhost lib to crash.
