I actually have one patch (not posted) doing the same thing (more
aggressively removed blocking_conn_list), threaded tx/rx won't improve
the performance of one Guest(and slightly make it worse), but will
improve the scalability of sheep gateway.

And your patch use ordered worker (one worker), I don't think it will
improve anything. rx/tx of one request is inherently ordered by itself,
we can only overlap different requests from different sources.

Thanks,
