Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] spec/vhost-user: add VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SET_DEVICE_ID
The VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SET_DEVICE_ID protocol feature indicates that the slave side implementation supports different types of devices. The master tells the slave what type of device to create by sending a VHOST_USER_SET_DEVICE_ID message.
