Hi Rusty & Asias,

I assume you mean something like the following patch to allow kbuild to
work when VHOST_NET + VHOST_SCSI are both enabled and sharing vhost.o,
yes..?

Also included is dropping the now unnecessary vhost.c include, and
allowing vhost_work_flush() to be accessed externally as scsi.c
currently requires.

MST, care to pick this up..?
