So here
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/vhost-user.html#vhost-user-device

the docs say:

   These are simple stub devices that ensure the VirtIO device is
   visible to the guest. The code is mostly boilerplate although each
   device has a chardev option which specifies the ID of the --chardev
   device that connects via a socket to the vhost-user daemon.

So maybe if the ID were specified via the command line too, you could
have a generic vhost-user stub in qemu?
