This is a patch based on Krishna Kumar's patch series which implements
multiple VQ support for virtio-net.

The patch was tested with ver3 of the patch.

Any performance numbers?
I tried finding a box with more than two cores so I could test it on
something like that as well.

From what I see this patch causes a performance regression on my 2 core
box.

After discussing it with Michael, we found out that for a single TCP
flow the guest signals the same TX VQ, but the RX VQ keeps changing -
which means that theres missing host-guest synchronization of hash flow.
