We need to add CONNECT and DISCONNECT events needed by libvirt to restart passt if it is killed
From RHEL-69455
One thing that doesn't currently work is restarting passt if its process somehow is killed - this was done with some stuff added automatically to the qemu commandline + watching for an event with normal passt, and vhost-user has a "reconnect" option, but I think that will only cause qemu to try to reconnect, I don't know if it will send the event that libvirt needs in order to start a new passt instance.
This is fixed by the following upstream commit:

net: vhost-user: add QAPI events to report connection state
The netdev reports NETDEV_VHOST_USER_CONNECTED event when
the chardev is connected, and NETDEV_VHOST_USER_DISCONNECTED
when it is disconnected.
The NETDEV_VHOST_USER_CONNECTED event includes the chardev id.
This allows a system manager like libvirt to detect when the server
fails.
For instance with passt:
{ 'execute': 'qmp_capabilities' }
{ "return": { } }
[killing passt here]
{ "timestamp": { "seconds": 1739538634, "microseconds": 920450 },
"event": "NETDEV_VHOST_USER_DISCONNECTED",
"data": { "netdev-id": "netdev0" } }
[automatic reconnection with reconnect-ms]
{ "timestamp": { "seconds": 1739538638, "microseconds": 354181 },
"event": "NETDEV_VHOST_USER_CONNECTED",
"data": { "netdev-id": "netdev0", "chardev-id": "chr0" } }
