Hi Nicholas et al,

I expect the best possible performance test for percpu_ida/percpu_tags
would be to stress drivers/vhost/scsi.c vhost_scsi_get_tag() function.

I tried to make such test by attaching ramdisk to a virtual machine
(similar to https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/10/347) but ultimately failed
to configure the necessary environment - the stock qemu does not have
-vhost-scsi parameter.

Could you please advice how to make this configuration exposed to guests?
