I'm kind of ok with implementing it, but I see it as redundant as if
the VDUSE device does not call the vq max size will be 0 anyway.

It's been checked from day0, both reserved1 and reserved2 were
included in the config.reserved before the patch, and the replaced
lines already checked with is_mem_zero [1].

Same here. The kernel in the master branch already returns false if
that position of "reserved" is 1, and we are changing the behavior if
we don't include the 1 too.

That's a very good point, but I got the reverse logic actually :). All
the vhost userland ioctls use an unsigned int (==u32) already, so
VDUSE should keep going with that. If any, get_vq_group (and similar)
kernel internal API should move to u32 to keep up with userland API.
