  External backends may have specific requests to handle, and so
we don't want the vhost-user lib to handle these requests as
errors.

This patch also catch the case where a request is neither handled
by the external backend nor by the vhost library.

There is no need for the 'if' without the body.

External requests could be annoying. Maybe we'll need to move them under DBG ?
I'm not sure.

This will break the 'vhost_crypto', because it has no 'pre_msg_handler'
and master will skip to 'post_msg_handler', but it will not be called
because current status is ERR.

Maybe it's easier to introduce RTE_VHOST_MSG_RESULT_NOT_HANDLED and convert
it to ERR before the reply ?
This will require changing the pre_msg_handlers to return
RTE_VHOST_MSG_RESULT_NOT_HANDLED if message wasn't recognized.
And we'll possibly be able to drop the 'skip_master' in this case.

Oops, indeed. I was pretty sure I did compile test it, but looking at
the history I didn't.

Fair point. I'll change to DBG.

Thanks for catching it.

Ok, that means breaking the API, but it is still experimental so not a
blocker.

I like the idea because it would also make it possible to add some debug 
prints.

I'll post new iteration this morning.

Thanks,
Maxime
