This patch increases the number of IO vectors for the asynchronous data path from 512 to 2048. It has been reported during testing the startvation of IO vectors during iperf benchmark with 64KB packet size.
As there are no direct relationship between VHOST_MAX_ASYNC_VEC and BUF_VECTOR_MAX, this patch also assign VHOST_MAX_ASYNC_VEC value directly instyead of being a multiple of BUF_VECTOR_MAX.
