To help in vhost analyzing, the following series adding basic tracepoints to
vhost. Operations of both virtqueues and vhost works were traced in current
implementation, net code were untouched. A top-like satistics displaying script
were introduced to help the troubleshooting.
TODO:
- net specific tracepoints?

To help for the performance optimizations and debugging, this patch tracepoints
for vhost. Pay attention that the tracepoints are only for vhost, net code are
not touched.
Two kinds of activities were traced: virtio and vhost work.

[PATCH 2/2] tools: virtio: add a top-like utility for displaying vhost satistics
This patch adds simple python to display vhost satistics of vhost, the codes
were based on kvm_stat script from qemu. As work function has been recored,
filters could be used to distinguish which kinds of work are being executed or
queued:
vhost statistics

I'm not sure if tracepoints support the right data types but it seems like vhost debugging could be done using tracing with less code. Stefan
