Firstly,I am sorry for my words misleading you. We totally tested 12 drives.
And each drive run in 6 CPU cores with 8 jobs.

Secondly, I try to test the drives with VMD disabled,I found the results to
be largely consistent with bypass mode. I suppose the bypass mode just
"bypass" the VMD controller.

The last one,we found in bypass mode the CPU idle is 91%. But in remapping mode
the CPU idle is 78%. And the bypass's context-switchs is much fewer
than the remapping
mode's. It seems the system is watiing for something in bypass mode.
