I've just tried, idea to check limit is unusable in this case. here is a link to a patch that implements it: https://github.com/imammedo/qemu/commits/vhost_slot_limit_check slots count is changing dynamically depending on used devices and more importantly guest OS could change slots count during its runtime when during managing devices it could trigger repartitioning of current memory table as device's memory regions mapped into address space. That leads to 2 different values of used slots at guest startup time and after guest booted or after hotplug. I my case guest could be started with max 58 DIMMs coldplugged, but after boot 3 more slots are freed and it's possible to hotadd 3 more DIMMs. That however leads to the guest that can't be migrated to since by QEMU design all hotplugged devices should be present at target's startup time i.e. 60 DIMMs total and that obviously goes above vhost limit

IMHO then _LEGACY is more exact description of macro. As for 0 return value, -1 is just fine for detecting old kernels (i.e. try and see if it works), so 0 looks unnecessary but it doesn't in any way hurt either.
