Hi Lei,

This patch series does not modify the code of vp_vdpa. Instead, it only
modifies how QEMU sends SVQ control commands to the vdpa device.

Considering that the behavior of the vp_vdpa device differs from that
of real vdpa hardware, would it be possible for you to test this patch
series on a real vdpa device?

Thanks!
