This patch series is a continuation of an earlier one that
implemented guest MQ TX functionality. This new patchset
implements both RX and TX MQ. Qemu changes are not being
included at this time solely to aid in easier review.
Compatibility testing with old/new combinations of qemu/guest
and vhost was done without any issues.
Some early TCP/UDP test results are at the bottom of this
post, I plan to submit more test results in the coming days.
Please review and provide feedback on what can improve.
Thanks!

Test configuration:
Host: 8 Intel Xeon, 8 GB memory
Guest: 4 cpus, 2 GB memory
Each test case runs for 60 secs, results below are average over
two runs. Bandwidth numbers are in gbps. I have used default
netperf, and no testing/system tuning other than taskset each
vhost to 0xf (cpus 0-3). Comparison is testing original kernel
vs new kernel with #txqs=8 ("#" refers to number of netperf
sessions).
