[PATCH v2 4/8] vhost: batching fetches

[Eugenio PÃrez]

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

With this patch applied, new and old code perform identically.

Lots of extra optimizations are now possible, e.g.
we can fetch multiple heads with copy_from/to_user now.
We can get rid of maintaining the log array.  Etc etc.
