This patch tries to poll for new added tx buffer or socket receive
queue for a while at the end of tx/rx processing. The maximum time
spent on polling were specified through a new kind of vring ioctl.

Isn't there a way to call all this after vhost_get_vq_desc?
First, this will reduce the good path overhead as you
won't have to play with timers and preemption.
Second, this will reduce the chance of a pagefault on avail ring read.

Need a hint that it's rx related in the name.

This appears to be called under vq mutex in handle_rx.
So how does this work then?

This appears to be called after disable notify
in handle_rx - so why disable here again?

This seems to mix in several items.
RX queue is normally not empty. I don't think
we need to poll for that.
