Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] vhost: Introduce a universal thread to serve all users

vhost threads are per-device, but in most cases a single thread
is enough. This change creates a single thread that is used to
serve all guests.

However, this complicates cgroups associations. The current policy
is to attach the per-device thread to all cgroups of the parent process
that the device is associated it. This is no longer possible if we
have a single thread. So, we end up moving the thread around to
cgroups of whichever device that needs servicing. This is a very
inefficient protocol but seems to be the only way to integrate
cgroups support.
