Do we still have a plan convergence toward upstream DPDK for vhost-user?
This has come up in a discussion in this bugz,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422534
and this patch to vhost_user https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5700/

No, we don't have such plans, i don't see a reason why we would invest
significant time in adopting 3rd party library if we have own working
code.
what is your particular concern?
DPDK has had a vhost user implementation for quite some time and it is
used by other projects built on DPDK. It is generally condidered better
to not duplicate similar functionality found in upstream projects. Also,
it is far easier for downstream organizations supporting both DPDK/OVS
and VPP to have a single code base for an identical functaionality.
