For vhost-scsi with 3 vqs or more and a workload that tries to use them in parallel like: fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=3 the single vhost worker thread will become a bottlneck and we are stuck at around 500K IOPs no matter how many jobs, virtqueues, and CPUs are used. To better utilize virtqueues and available CPUs, this patch allows userspace to create workers and bind them to vqs. You can have N workers per dev and also share N workers with M vqs on that dev. This patch adds the interface related code and the next patch will hook vhost-scsi into it. The patches do not try to hook net and vsock into the interface because: 1. multiple workers don't seem to help vsock. The problem is that with only 2 virtqueues we never fully use the existing worker when doing bidirectional tests. This seems to match vhost-scsi where we don't see the worker as a bottleneck until 3 virtqueues are used. 2. net already has a way to use multiple workers.
