A simple test guide (on same host)
==================================

The following test is based on OVS + DPDK (check [0] for how to setup OVS +
DPDK):

The above test guide should probably be added to the DPDK doc files.
It could be added to the sample app guide or the programmers guide.
There is already a Vhost Library section in the programmers guide and
a Vhost Sample Application section in the sample app guide.
Hi Iremonger,

You had same ask in my last version, and I was aware of that while
preparing this version. The reason I didn't include it is the same
as I replied to you last time: it's a very rough test guide; the
formal test guide would be with 2 hosts, and also you have to establish
a connection to the VM before migration and make sure it still works
right after the migration.

So, I will consider to add such formal test plan after validation is
done from validation team.
The Vhost Sample Application section might be the best place to add it.
I don't think that's the right place: we can't do the live migration
test with the vhost-switch example: it includes some hardware features,
such as VLAN. Those info would be lost after migration.

And that's the reason I choose OVS.
It would be useful to add some documentation on the Vhost Logging feature Itself. 
Good suggestion; I will think what I can do for it.
