[PATCH v3 01/10] Epoll based interrupt controller
Full redesign of the existing UML poll based controller. The old
poll controller incurs huge penalties for IRQ sharing and many devices
setup due to the device list being walked twice.
Additionally, the current controller has
From: Anton Ivanov
This is an alternative to the well known pcap transport.
In the absense of special hardware support pcap is slow,
guaranteed to be slow and with significant penalties on
NUMA/SMP systems due to the timestamping of every packet.
This transport does not incur any of these times
From: Anton Ivanov
The epoll based controller has real (not emulated) edge and
level semantics and the edge/level is handled by epoll. There
is no toggling of the poll set any more, thus it is removed
throughout

Obvious performance optimization - it is not necessary
to read the requests one at a time in the IRQ handler

The use of the seek()/read() and seek()/write() is a terminal
disease on NUMA. Intense use of this on shared files (f.e.
the master for a COW image) can cause anything up to and including
killing CPUs on unhandled NMIs.
This patch deals with this UML major issue (and one of UM

of the correct handler to invoke

socketpair() is a better IPC choice for lots of small requests
as it allows deeper (and configurable) queues than pipe()
As a result UBD will process nearly all of the requests submitted
to it instead of bouncing a significant percentage under load

Support for multi-packet vector IO - multiple packets
read in one syscall and (optionally) written in one syscall.
Support for (optional) queueing on EAGAIN/ENOBUFS - applies
only to socket transports. Sorry TAP, -EYOULOSE - it will remain
slower than any so

This patch adds an extra timer source which has correct timing
and uses an up-to-date OS API and.
Results - correct kernel behaviour on timer related tasks.
1. Improvement in network performance (TCP state machines
are now fed correct time).
2. Correct QoS and traffic
