This message is used to enable/disable a specific vring queue pair.
The first queue pair is enabled by default.

It might be a good idea to flush any packets being processed
on relevant cores at this point.
They are offloaded to the application (examples/vhost/vhost-switch in
this case).

user_destroy_device will invoke the application's "destroy_device()"
callback in the end, which, in our case, will set "remove" flag. The
core worker will then drain and free the RX queue and free TX queue
once the "remove" flag is set.

Oh, I really meant user_set_vring_enable.
Will a per-vring callback help then?

We may prototype the callback to "vring_state_changed(dev, vring_index)"
so that the application could either, as you suggested, flushes any packets
haven't been processed yet, or simply drops them.
