Not very clear about why batch number is 8. It is better to save it in
rte_vhost_async_features if the value come from hardware requirement.

Patrick,
In my understanding, nr_segs type definition can follow nr_vec type definition
(uint16_t). By that can short the data saved in async_pkts_pending from 64bit
to 32bit.
Since those information will be used in datapath, the smaller size will get the
better perf.
It is better to replace integer 2 with macro.
Thanks,
Marvin
