Re: [PATCH RFC 01/13] vhost: option to fetch descriptors through an independent struct

The idea is to support multiple ring formats by converting
to a format-independent array of descriptors.

This costs extra cycles, but we gain in ability
to fetch a batch of descriptors in one go, which
is good for code cache locality.

When used, this causes a minor performance degradation,
it's been kept as simple as possible for ease of review.
A follow-up patch gets us back the performance by adding batching.

To simplify benchmarking, I kept the old code around so one can switch
back and forth between old and new code. This will go away in the final
submission.

Note that this means we don't supported chained indirect descriptors which complies the spec but we support this in vhost_get_vq_desc().

We probably need either fail early or just support that.

Thanks
