Description of problem: When testing performance of vhost with a guest without MSI support, regression of TX performance were found, this because we still need the assistance of qemu to inject non-msi interrupt which cause a relative high irq latency.

Start a guest without MSI support with vhost 2. Run a round of netperf 3. Start a guest without MSI support without vhost 4. Run a round of netperf 5. Compare the result Actual results: TX performance of vhost is worse than userspace. Expected results: TX performance should be better than userspace. Additional info: Possible solution: 1. qemu automatically switch to userspace virtio_net when the non-msi interrupt was used 2. eventfd support for injecting level interrupts
