Yes that is a good idea, thanks. Maybe I could change the function
signature to receive the mmap_reg as parameter instead of the offset
and size combo.

It is true that is inconsistent, I need to check for the field before
sending the reponse in the handlers. But at least it will not respond
twice as `vhost_user_send_resp()` unset the VHOST_USER_NEED_REPLY_MASK
bit.

The explicit calls are necessary to be able to control that
vhost_commit is called after the response is sent, or else it will
cause a deadlock. What I need to do is to check for the
VHOST_USER_NEED_REPLY_MASK bit before calling it. Then
`vhost_user_send_resp()` will unset it to avoid double reponse.
