Batching is enabled if max_descs > UIO_MAXIOV.

So this uses batching for test.

But net is unchanged, so it is still not using the batched version.
Is that right?

I think a better subject would be "vhost/test: use batched get_vq_desc
version".

And that explains which testing it refers to: the one executed by vhost test.

I think there was a separate patch to enable that for net separately,
but it got lost - or did I miss it?
