Here are a couple more patches I came up with, the first to Linux,
the second to qemu.

There are a few problems ...

(1) Setting virtqueue_size to < 128 causes a BUG_ON failure in
virtio_ring.c:virtqueue_add at:

    BUG_ON(total_sg > vq->vring.num);

I initially thought that I should also set cmd_per_lun to the same
value, but that doesn't help.  Is there some relationship between
virtqueue_size and other settings?

(2) Can/should the ctrl, event and cmd queue sizes be set to the same
values?  Or should ctrl & event be left at 128?

(3) It seems like it might be a problem that virtqueue_size is not
passed through the virtio_scsi_conf struct (which is ABI between the
kernel and qemu AFAICT and so not easily modifiable).  However I think
this is not a problem because virtqueue size is stored in the
Virtqueue Descriptor table, which is how the kernel gets the value.
Is that right?

Rich.
