Hm.. Good point. As of this version, this design will always have
one worker thread servicing a guest. Now suppose we have 10 virtio
queues for a guest, surely, we could benefit from spawning off another
worker just like we are doing in case of a new guest/device with
the devs_per_worker parameter.
