Netperf 1 VM: 1516 MB/sec -> 2046 MB/sec
and for 3 VMs: 4086 MB/sec -> 5545 MB/sec

message size  was 64B in order to get the VM to be cpu saturated. 
so vhost had 99% cpu and vhost 38%, with the polling patch both had 99%.

Polling indeed doesn't make a lot of sense if there aren't enough 
available cores.
In these cases polling should not be used.
