similar to: [PATCH v3 0/2] block: virtio-blk: support multi vq per virtio-blk

Hi, These patches try to support multi virtual queues(multi-vq) in one virtio-blk device, and maps each virtual queue(vq) to blk-mq's hardware queue. With this approach, both scalability and performance on virtio-blk device can get improved. For verifying the improvement, I implements virtio-blk multi-vq over qemu's dataplane feature, and both handling host notification from each vq and

Existing virtio-blk protocol doesn't have DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES commands support, this will impact the performance when using SSD backend over file systems. Commit 88c85538 "virtio-blk: add discard and write zeroes features to specification"(see https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec) extended existing virtio-blk protocol, adding extra DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES commands support.

Linux kernel only supports logical block sizes which are power of two, at least 512 bytes and no more that PAGE_SIZE. Check this instead of crashing later on. Note that there is no need to check physical block size since it is only a hint, and virtio-blk already only supports power of two values.

Most virtio setups have a fairly limited number of ring entries available. Enable S/G entry merging by default to fit into less of them. This restores the behavior at time of the virtio-blk blk-mq conversion, which was changed by commit "block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging" which made the behavior optional, but didn't update the existing drivers to keep their previous

Firstly this patch supports more than one virtual queues for virtio-blk device. Secondly this patch maps the virtual queue to blk-mq's hardware queue. With this approach, both scalability and performance problem can be improved.
