OK I was objecting to ripping out the common vhost-user code which was
implemented as a fix for behaviour found while attempting to upstream:

  Subject: [PATCH  v4 for 7.2 00/22] virtio-gpio and various virtio cleanups
  Date: Tue,  2 Aug 2022 10:49:48 +0100
  Message-Id: <20220802095010.3330793-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

I vhost-user-blk wants to suppress its use of vhost-user config messages
I guess that should be a control option but it sounds like a buggy
back-end.
