The initialization takes a chardev backed by a unix domain socket.
It should implement qemu_fe_set_msgfds in order to be able to pass
file descriptors to the remote process.
Each ioctl request of vhost-kernel has a vhost-user message equivalent,
which is sent over the control socket.
The general approach is to copy the data from the supplied argument
pointer to a designated field in the message. If a file descriptor is
to be passed it will be placed in the fds array for inclusion in
the sendmsg control header.
VHOST_SET_MEM_TABLE ignores the supplied vhost_memory structure and scans
the global ram_list for ram blocks with a valid fd field set. This would
be set when the '-object memory-file' option with share=on property is used.

Use vhost_set_backend_type to initialise a proper vhost_ops structure.
In vhost_net_init and vhost_net_start_one call conditionally TAP related
initialisation depending on the vhost backend type.
