OK I'm back and trying to make it more bisectable.
I pushed a new tag "batch-v2".
It's same code but with this bisect should get more information.
I suspect one of the following:
commit 1414d7ee3d10d2ec2bc4ee652d1d90ec91da1c79
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

vhost: batching fetches
With this patch applied, new and old code perform identically.
Lots of extra optimizations are now possible, e.g.
we can fetch multiple heads with copy_from/to_user now.
We can get rid of maintaining the log array. Etc etc.

vhost: use batched version by default
As testing shows no performance change, switch to that now.

and would like to know which.
Thanks!
