  Hi all,

This series introduces some ways to improve VDUSE performance.

Patch 1 ~ 7 brings current interrupt affinity spreading mechanism
to vduse device and make it possible for the virtio-blk driver
to build the blk-mq queues based on it. This would be useful to
mitigate the virtqueue lock contention in virtio-blk driver. In
our test, we could get ~50% improvement (600k iops -> 900k iops)
when using per-cpu virtqueue.

Patch 8 adds a sysfs interface for each vduse virtqueue to show
the affinity and effective affinity for IRQ callback. And the
effective affinity interface is also writable so that we can
do some performance tuning when the affinity mask contains more
than one CPU.

Patch 9 adds a sysfs interface for each virtqueues to control
whether use workqueue to inject irq or not. The vhost-vdpa case
can benefit from it.

Patch 10, 11 add a sysfs interface to support specifying bounce
buffer size in virtio-vdpa case. The high throughput workloads
can benefit from it. And we can also use it to reduce the memory
overhead for small throughput workloads.

Please review, thanks!

V1 to V2:
- Export irq_create_affinity_masks()
- Add set/get_vq_affinity and set_irq_affinity callbacks in vDPA
  framework
- Add automatic irq callback affinity support in VDUSE driver [Jason]
- Add more backgrounds information in commit log [Jason]
- Only support changing effective affinity when the value is a subset
  of the IRQ callback affinity mask.
