Hi,

indeed, I have been working on this over the last months. You can have a
look at my GitHub page [1] to get some more context.

At the moment, I am in touch with Darek - core maintainer of SPDK - in
order to add functionality for the virtio-vhost-user device in SPDK and
DPDK. You can check some more recent activity in this thread [2].

Unfortunately, I have limited experience on Xen, but I would love to
share my knowledge on this topic. Feel free to post any questions.

Best regards,
Nikos
