Hello Miachel,

> Shirley, could you please test the following patch?

With this patch, the performance has gained from 1xxx to 2xxx Mb/s,
still has some performance gap compared to without vhost. It was
3xxxMb/s before from guest to host on my set up.

Looks like your git tree virtio_net has fixed the skb_xmit panic I have
seen before as well, good news.

Thanks
Shirley
