Fixed it after Thanksgiving holiday :)

Combined with previous test results(lower to higher):

qemu-nvme: 148MB/s
vhost-nvme + google-ext: 230MB/s
qemu-nvme + google-ext + eventfd: 294MB/s
virtio-scsi: 296MB/s
virtio-blk: 344MB/s

"vhost-nvme + google-ext" didn't get good enough performance.
Still tuning.
