Make vhost scalable by creating a separate vhost thread per vhost
device. This provides better scaling across multiple guests and with
multiple interfaces in a guest.
I am seeing better aggregated througput/latency when running netperf
across multiple guests or multiple interfaces in a guest in parallel
with this patch.
