> In some cases when using the vHost PMD, certain vHost library functions
> may still need to be accessed. One such example is the
> rte_vhost_get_queue_num function which returns the number of virtqueues
> reported by the guest - information which is not exposed by the PMD.

> This commit introduces a new rte_eth_vhost function that returns the 'vid'
> associated with a given port id. This allows the PMD user to call vHost
> library functions which require the 'vid' value.
