To demonstrate app doesn't need to launch dedicated worker threads for vhost
enqueue/dequeue operations,
We can use "-c 0x2" to indicate that no need to allocate dedicated worker
threads.

Use PRIx64 instead of PRIu64 for features.
You can add a blank space between "PRIx64" and the other section to make it
more readable.
Refer to:
lib/librte_vhost/vhost_user.c: "guest memory region
%u, size: 0x%" PRIx64 "\n"
