Hi,
While I was testing vhost-user using OVS 2.5 and DPDK 2.2.0 in the
host and testpmd dpdk 2.2.0 in the guest, I found that the commit
below breaks the environment and no packets gets into the guest.
dpdk port --> OVS --> vhost-user --> guest --> testpmd
^--- drops here ^--- no packets here.

vhost: don't set vring call if no vector
We used to set vring call fd unconditionally even if guest driver does
not use MSIX for this vritqueue at all. This will cause lots of
unnecessary userspace access and other checks for drivers does not use
interrupt at all (e.g virtio-net pmd). So check and clean vring call
fd if guest does not use any vector for this virtqueue at
all.

Thanks,
Hi Flavio:
Thanks for reporting this issue, could this be a bug of vhost-user? (I
believe virito-net pmd does not use interrupt for rx/tx at all)
Anyway, will try to reproduce it.
