It would be better, as you say, to modify the vhost_task code so it can
emulate the kthread behavior. However, given that apparently some users
are unhappy, what you describe would be a good stopgap solution
until we have that.

The main difficulty seems to be to describe what the
behaviour is, exactly, so userspace can make informed
decisions on what to use.
