There is in fact a difference; actual and target are very rarely 
updated, while the stats are updated very often.  Using a vq means a 
constant number of exits per batch instead of one exit per statistic.  
If the vq is host-driven, it also allows the host to control the update 
frequency dynamically (i.e. stop polling when there is no memory pressure).
