I think your patch is fine, but I'd like to follow current virtio vq's
lock rule.
Your patch should not be part of this patchset because
you introduce one spinlock inside vq, and you need to
replace other virtio devices' per-vq lock to the builtin lock
too in your patchset.

I don't think there should be lots of vqs:
- each virtio-blk has only one disk, not like virtio-scsi
- with aio, the block io can easily reach its top throughput
with very few IO threads
- for each IO thread, just several vqs can make it at full load
(in my test, 2 vqs can make one iothread at full loading)
- more vqs, more notifications and irqs, which hurt performance too
so I think we needn't consider the huge vqs case until it is
proved to be necessary, we have use one vq per virtio-blk
working for long time at all.

I like short name because it can fit in 80 character's column
when reading /proc/interrupts.

That is a bug, will fix that.
