This is vhost-net specific even though the function appears to be
generic. Is there a plan to extend this to all devices?

I suggest exposing the per-vq interface (vhost_kernel_set_vq_enable())
in VhostOps so it follows the ioctl interface.
vhost_kernel_set_vring_enable() can be moved to vhost.c can loop over
all vqs if callers find it convenient to loop over all vqs.
