Keiichi Watanabe c8e21ca15c vmm_vhost: Replace super:: with crate::
Since specifying module with absolute paths (`crate::`) is preferred over
relative path (`super::`), replace all of them except `super::*` in
`tests` modules.

BUG=none
TEST=cargo test --all-features in vmm_vhost

vHost

A pure rust library for vhost-user. This is a fork of rust-vmm/vhost.

vhost Architecture

The vhost-user protocol aims to implement vhost backend drivers in userspace, which complements the ioctl interface used to control the vhost implementation in the Linux kernel. It implements the control plane needed to establish virtqueue sharing with a user space process on the same host. It uses communication over a Unix domain socket to share file descriptors in the ancillary data of the message.

The protocol defines two sides of the communication, master and slave. Master is the application that shares its virtqueues, slave is the consumer of the virtqueues. Master and slave can be either a client (i.e. connecting) or server (listening) in the socket communication.
