So the question still, it looks like it's easier to hide the shadow 
virtqueue stuffs at vhost layer instead of expose them to virtio layer:

1) vhost protocol is stable ABI
2) no need to deal with virtio stuffs which is more complex than vhost

Or are there any advantages if we do it at virtio layer?

Thanks
