Hi Maxime,

Have some confusion about this feature. Please help confirm.

(1) With this feature, we only support to advertise MTU value which is 
defined by QEMU to frontend and backend driver separately. (2) But it 
does not allow frontend driver to set a different MTU to QEMU and then 
to vhost backend.

Correct?

If it's correct, why not MTU works like (2)?

Thanks,
Jianfeng
