Should have just kept quiet in the v1 review about a switch ;-)

FWIW: If someone tries to add a vhostuser it will fail before the
unsupported message because the "if (net->driver.virtio.queues > 0 &&
..." doesn't have VHOSTUSER in the list like it does for command line.

I'm OK with adding that in here now or as a separate patch...

ACK for what's here.
