Hi!
I noticed a performance regression in virtio net: going from
2.6.31 to 2.6.32-rc4 I see this, for guest to host communication:

[mst@tuck ~]$ ssh robin sh streamtest1
TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 11.0.0.3
(11.0.0.3) port 0 AF_INET : demo
Recv   Send    Send
Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec

 87380  16384  16384    10.20    7806.48

Note: I had to revert 48925e372f04f5e35fec6269127c62b2c71ab794,
and I applied a patch
	virtio-pci: fix per-vq MSI-X request logic
which fixes a bug introduced by f68d24082e22ccee3077d11aeb6dc5354f0ca7f1.

Any tips on debugging this?
