Hi all,

This series adds "iothread" property to virtio-scsi in a way just similar to
virtio-blk, and turns all scsi devices to run on top of it.

Example:

    -object iothread,id=iothread-1  \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio-scsi-bus-0,iothread=iothread-1  \
    -drive file=guest.img,id=scsi-disk-1,if=none,cache=none,aio=native  \
    -device scsi-disk,lun=1,drive=scsi-disk-1,id=scsi-disk-1

It uses irqfd, ioeventfd and vring in a way just like virtio-blk does now.

Please review the general approach and see if major points are missed in terms
of thread safety and completeness of the moved things from original context to
iothread context.

Note that the used vring is not function complete compared to virtqueue
implementation, because of its lacking of MMIO handling. So this is just an
RFC.

Migration hasn't been looked into yet, either.  Assigning multiple iothreads is
supposed to be worked on top of this as well, but it's not thoroughly planned
yet.

Thanks,
Fam
