Hi Michael,

Now my patch has a serious problem, I use virtio_vsock_pkt as
the transport header from host to guest, it will cause
guest parse the wrong packet length. Because this structure
size may be different under different compilers
(guest and host are different). I will solve the problem
in later version.

Thanks,
Yiwen.
