Indeed, you didn't receive any comments under that (July) posting,
regrettably:

http://mid.mail-archive.com/1531201226-4099-1-git-send-email-changpeng.liu@i...

However, prior to that, the topic had been discussed several times. QEMU
commit fb20fbb76 is correct, and the idea behind the present patch is wrong.

Obviously I'm not a SeaBIOS maintainer, so take my opinion for what it's
worth. However, I will definitely not accept a similar patch for OVMF --
it was tried, and I rejected it:

https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2017-December/019131.html

(In fact, although the author of the OVMF posting and the author of the
QEMU patch were different persons, and it's also unclear whether they
worked for the same organization, I suspect that the QEMU patch was
actually the direct result of the OVMF discussion.)

This expectation that you spell out in the commit message is what's
wrong, in those "vhost slave targets".

OK, so changing the slave vhost target logic is the only way now, the vhost library should start queues once got kicked.
