Thanks. Very good experimental. I have been struggling with guest/vhost
optimization work for a while. I created different experimental patches,
performance results really depends on workloads.

Based on the discussions and findings, seems that to improve
virtio_net/vhost optimization work, we really need to collect more
statistics data on both virtio_net and vhost for both TX and RX. 

A way to filter number of guest exits, I/O exits, irq injections in
guest networking stacks only would be helpful.

Thanks
Shirley
