[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] vhost: move dirty logging cache out of the virtqueue

[Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>]

This patch moves the per-virtqueue's dirty logging cache
out of the virtqueue struct, by allocating it dynamically
only when live-migration is enabled.

It saves 8 cachelines in vhost_virtqueue struct.
