[PATCH v3 4/8] vhost: batching fetches

Eugenio Pérez

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

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.
