Also I found a big TX regression for old guest and new guest. For old
guest, I am able to get almost 11Gb/s for 2K message size, but for the
new guest kernel, I can only get 3.5 Gb/s with the patch and same
host.
I will dig it why. 

The regression is from guest kernel, not from this patch. Tested 2.6.31
kernel, it's performance is less than 2Gb/s for 2K message size already.
I will resubmit the patch for review. 

I will start to test from 2.6.30 kernel to figure it when TX regression
induced in virtio_net. Any suggestion which guest kernel I should test
to figure out this regression?

Thanks
Shirley

git bisect 2.6.31 2.6.30
and go from here.
