    Patchset description:
    vhost-blk: in-kernel accelerator for virtio-blk guests
    
    Although QEMU virtio-blk is quite fast, there is still some room for
    improvements. Disk latency can be reduced if we handle virito-blk
    requests in host kernel so we avoid a lot of syscalls and context
    switches.
    The idea is quite simple - QEMU gives us block device and we translate
    any incoming virtio requests into bio and push them into bdev.
    The biggest disadvantage of this vhost-blk flavor is raw format.
    
    Luckily Kirill Thai proposed device mapper driver for QCOW2 format to
    attach files as block devices:
    https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg4292965.html
    
    Also by using kernel modules we can bypass iothread limitation and
    finaly scale block requests with cpus for high-performance devices.
    
    There have already been several attempts to write vhost-blk:
    
    Asias'   version:       https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/1/174
    Badari's version:       https://lwn.net/Articles/379864/
    Vitaly's version:       https://lwn.net/Articles/770965/
    
    The main difference between them is API to access backend file. The
    fastest one is Asias's version with bio flavor. It is also the most
    reviewed and have the most features. So vhost_blk module is partially
    based on it. Multiple virtqueue support was addded, some places
    reworked. Added support for several vhost workers.
    
    test setup and results:
      fio --direct=1 --rw=randread  --bs=4k  --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128
    QEMU drive options: cache=none
    filesystem: xfs

    vhost-blk, 8vcpu |      730k      |      701k       | *two kernel threads
    
    v2:
    
    patch 1/10
     - removed unused VHOST_BLK_VQ
     - reworked bio handling a bit: now add all pages from signle iov into
    single bio istead of allocating one bio per page
     - changed how to calculate sector incrementation
     - check move_iovec() in vhost_blk_req_handle()
     - remove snprintf check and better check ret from copy_to_iter for
    VIRTIO_BLK_ID_BYTES requests
     - discard vq request if vhost_blk_req_handle() returned negative code
     - forbid to change nonzero backend in vhost_blk_set_backend(). First of
    all, QEMU sets backend only once. Also if we want to change backend when
    we already running requests we need to be much more careful in
    vhost_blk_handle_guest_kick() as it is not taking any references. If
    userspace want to change backend that bad it can always reset device.
     - removed EXPERIMENTAL from Kconfig
    
    patch 3/10
     - don't bother with checking dev->workers[0].worker since dev->nworkers
    will always contain 0 in this case
    
    patch 6/10
     - Make code do what docs suggest. Previously ioctl-supplied new number
    of workers were treated like an amount that should be added. Use new
    number as a ceiling instead and add workers up to that number.
