Subject: [net-next RFC V4 PATCH 0/4] Multiqueue virtio-net

Hello All:

This series is an update version of multiqueue virtio-net driver based on
Krishna Kumar's work to let virtio-net use multiple rx/tx queues to do the
packets reception and transmission. Please review and comments.

Test Environment:
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz, 8 cores 2 numa nodes
- Two directed connected 82599

Test Summary:

- Highlights: huge improvements on TCP_RR test
- Lowlights: regression on small packet transmission, higher cpu utilization
             than single queue, need further optimization

Analysis of the performance result:

- I count the number of packets sending/receiving during the test, and
  multiqueue show much more ability in terms of packets per second.

- For the tx regression, multiqueue send about 1-2 times of more packets
  compared to single queue, and the packets size were much smaller than single
  queue does. I suspect tcp does less batching in multiqueue, so I hack the
  tcp_write_xmit() to forece more batching, multiqueue works as well as
  singlequeue for both small transmission and throughput

- I didn't pack the accelerate RFS with virtio-net in this sereis as it still
  need further shaping, for the one that interested in this please see:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg64111.html

Detail result:

Test results: smp = 2 pin vhosts and vcpus in the same node - 1 sq 2 mq(q=2)
