Generally it works for me until git revision b2146d8bd.
I have compiled vhost-net directly in my kernel so a have definetly not
forgotten to load it...
As i use gentoo i made an ebuild that installes exactly this revision.
If i find the time to do some debugging i will do so, but actually i am
very busy with my job
family and the use of kvm is just a sparetime thing. :D
If it would be of some help i can set a breakpoint just before the path
and see what
causes the message.
