I have repeated the tests with v9, and results are a little bit different:
* If I test opening it with testpmd, I see no change between versions
* If I forward packets between two vhost-net interfaces in the guest
using a linux bridge in the host:
  - netperf UDP_STREAM shows a performance increase of 1.8, almost
doubling performance. This gets lower as frame size increase.
  - rests of the test goes noticeably worse: UDP_RR goes from ~6347
transactions/sec to 5830
  - TCP_STREAM goes from ~10.7 gbps to ~7Gbps
  - TCP_RR from 6223.64 transactions/sec to 5739.44
