Mainstream acceted a new vhost patchset recently https://lore.kernel.org/all/b7bc4a59-af42-bc4e-0bc8-05b5e6885...@oracle.com/ That patchset supports creation and handling of multiple vhost workers, so we can now drop our homebrew solution. Unfortunately only a few patches from patchset was merged into new RHEL tree. This series cherry-picks the most of ms patches, except for the new worker managing API and vhost-net, scsi, etc. upgrades. We will wait till RH decide to merge them all. >From our old patchset we will use vhost-blk patch itself and API patch.
