Do you have a preference for a VHOST_SCSI_ABI_VERSION starting point here..? I thought that v1 would be helpful to avoid confusion with the older userspace code, but don't really have a strong opinion either way.. Let me know what you'd prefer here, and I'll make the changes to tcm_vhost + vhost-scsi patch series accordingly.
