I think that you haven't sent all the files because at least some of the files
are missing.
For example the build fails with missing 'hw/virtio/vhost-blk.h'
Also I don't see here any mention on how the qemu passes to the in-kernel
driver, the file which the in-kernel driver is supposed to read/write.
I don't think that generic vhost backend have this functionality because till
now it was limited to iscsi, and thus qemu just passed to the kernel, the wwpn
of the device.
