Ok, but this seems fragile, as we don't have a guarantee that it won't
be implemented in the future.

I think it's worth since it:

1) only require small tweak on the vdpa core
2) avoid arch specific code in the simulator

There's no guarantee that we won't have any other software based vDPA
devices. We've already had a simulator and VDUSE. And we should not
exclude the possibility of another one.
