Cache the AVAIL, USED and WRITE bits to avoid calculating
them as much as possible. Note that, the WRITE bit isn't
cached for control queue.

Maybe name it avail_used_flags instead of cached flags. Also we could
use a constant value.

same here. it's not really cached, it's pre-calculated. And here we
could also use a pre-calculated constand/define. 

Otherwise looks good! Did you see any performance improvements?

It also contains the WRITE bit (not just AVAIL and USED bits)
for Rx path. That's why I didn't name it as avail_used_flags.

For pre-calculated constant/define, do you mean VRING_DESC_F_AVAIL(1)
and VRING_DESC_F_USED(1)? There is still little code in virtio-user
using them without constantly passing 1. I planned to fully get rid
of them in a separate patch later (but I can do it in this series if
anyone wants).

Yeah, I saw slightly better performance in a quick test.
