Hi all:
This RFC implement packed ring layout. The code were tested with pmd
implement by Jens at
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2018-January/089417.html. Minor change
was needed for pmd codes to kick virtqueue since it assumes a busy
polling backend.
Test were done between localhost and guest. Testpmd (rxonly) in guest
reports 2.4Mpps. Testpmd (txonly) repots about 2.1Mpps.
Notes: The event suppression /indirect descriptor support is complied
test only because of lacked driver support.
Changes from V1:
- Refactor vhost used elem code to avoid open coding on used elem
- Event suppression support (compile test only).
- Indirect descriptor support (compile test only).
- Zerocopy support.
- vIOMMU support.
- SCSI/VSOCK support (compile test only).
- Fix several bugs
For simplicity, I don't implement batching or other optimizations.
Please review.
Thanks

vhost: move get_rx_bufs to vhost.c
vhost: hide used ring layout from device
vhost: do not use vring_used_elem
vhost_net: do not explicitly manipulate vhost_used_elem
vhost: vhost_put_user() can accept metadata type
virtio: introduce packed ring defines
vhost: packed ring support
vhost: event suppression for packed ring
