This patch makes it possible to implement Martin Schwidefsky's

That could be a big help in heavily loaded virtualized environments.
The fact that it helps prevent the iSCSI memory deadlock is a
huge bonus too, of course :)
I think there may be a way with less changes to the way the VM functions
to get there:
That approach probably has way too many state changes going
between the guest OS and the hypervisor...
