All other DPDK PMDs doesn't support concurrent receiving or sending
packets to the same queue. The upper application should deal with
this, normally through queue and core bindings.
Due to historical reason, vhost internally supports concurrent lockless
enqueuing packets to the same virtio queue through costly cmpset operation.
This patch removes this internal lockless implementation and should improve
performance a bit.
Luckily DPDK OVS doesn't rely on this behavior.

The ifname[] field takes so much space, that it seperates some frequently
used fields into different caches, say, features and broadcast_rarp.
This patch moves all those fields that will be accessed frequently in Rx/Tx
together (before the ifname[] field) to let them share one cache line.

Array of buf_vector's is just an array for temporary storing information
about available descriptors. It used only locally in virtio_dev_merge_rx()
and there is no reason for that array to be shared.
Fix that by allocating local buf_vec inside virtio_dev_merge_rx().

Virtio net header length is set per device, but not per queue. So, there
is no reason to store it in vhost_virtqueue struct, instead, we should
store it in virtio_net struct, to make one copy only.

The "reserved" field in virtio_net and vhost_virtqueue struct is not
necessary any more. We now expose virtio_net device with a number "vid".
This patch also removes the "priv" field: all fields are priviate now:
application can't access it now. The only way that we could still access
it is to expose it by a function, but I doubt that's needed or worthwhile.

I failed to figure out what does "fh" mean here for a long while.
The only guess I could have had is "file handle". So, you get the
point that it's not well named.
I then figured it out that "fh" is derived from the fuse lib, and
my above guess is right. However, device_fh represents a virtio
net device ID. Therefore, here I rename it to vid (Virtio-net device
ID, or Vhost device ID; choose one you prefer) to make it easier for
understanding.
This name (vid) then will be considered to the only interface to
applications. That's another reason to do the rename: it's our
interface, make it more understandable.

device_fh repsents the device id for a specific virtio net device.
Firstly, "int" would be big enough: we don't need 64 bit. Secondly,
this could let us avoid the ugly "%" PRIu64 ".." stuff.
And since ctx.fh is derived from device_fh, declare it as int, too.

The common vhost code only supported a single mmap per device. vhost-user
worked around this by saving the address/length/fd of each mmap after the end
of the rte_virtio_memory struct. This only works if the vhost-user code frees
dev->mem, since the common code is unaware of the extra info. The
VHOST_USER_RESET_OWNER message is one situation where the common code frees
dev->mem and leaks the fds and mappings. This happens every time I shut down a
VM.
The new code calls back into the implementation (vhost-user or vhost-cuse) to
clean up these resources.
The vhost-cuse changes are only compile tested.

Found with clang++-3.4, IIRC g++-4.8 also complains about this.

In rte_vhost_driver_register(), vhost unix domain socket listener fd is created
and added to polled(based on select) fdset.
In rte_vhost_driver_session_start(), fds in the fdset are checked for
processing. If there is new connection from qemu, connection fd accepted is
added to polled fdset. The listener and connection fds in the fdset are
then both checked. When there is message on the connection fd, its
callback vserver_message_handler is called to process vhost-user messages.
To support identifying which virtio is from which guest VM, we could call
rte_vhost_driver_register with different socket path. Virtio devices from
same VM will connect to VM specific socket. The socket path information is
stored in the virtio_net structure.
