This patch specifies and implements the master/slave communication
to support device IOTLB in slave.
The vhost_iotlb_msg structure introduced for kernel backends is
re-used, making the design close between the two backends.
An exception is the use of the secondary channel to enable the
slave to send IOTLB miss requests to the master.

Ok.
It seems that VM is never used in the doc, but guest is:
$ grep -i guest docs/specs/vhost-user.txt | wc -l
13
grep -i vm docs/specs/vhost-user.txt | wc -l
0
I think I should keep "guest" for consistency?
Thanks,
Maxime
