  Following a rework, external message handlers were receiving a pointer
to a vhost_user message (as stated in the API), but lost the ability to
interact with fds attached to the message.
Restore the original layout and put a build check and reminders.

Bugzilla ID: 953
Fixes: 5e0099dc709e ("vhost: remove payload size limitation")

Signed-off-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

This patch is untested, but sending quickly to get feedback from the
reporter and comments from author and maintainers.

We should revisit the callbacks prototype when we'll be allowed to break
API, passing the message pointer as void * is definitely not a good
idea.

In the mean time, I agree with your fix:

We may also add Reported-by tag when applying.

Thanks!
