Why are each of these individual options added?

1. performance.low-prio-threads=32
VM use cases involve more of reads and writes than any other operations. And
both of these are categorized as 'low_prio' operations by io-threads. Setting
low-prio-threads to 32 saw some improvement in performance in initial testing
done by Paul Cuzner.

2. cluster.locking-scheme=granular
This is needed for more granular locking during entry self-heal so that
parallel heal-info doesn't hang until heals are complete.

3. features.shard=on
This is needed to reduce heal-times of VM image files which are large files
whose size can range anywhere from a few GBs to TBs or even PBs.

4. cluster.shd-max-threads=8, cluster.shd-wait-qlength=10000
These are to leverage multi-threaded self-heal feature to get better heal
performance and minimise the effect of downtime on VM file consistency and
availability.

5. user.cifs=off
We support access to files in virt use case only through libgfapi and FUSE. So
we explicitly disable other methods of access such as cifs.

    extras: Add more options to group virt

    Apart from some of the option configurations already listed
    in the group-virt.example file, we also recommend that the
    users set certain other options added by this patch for
    VM use-case. This also helps Gluster-oVirt users in configuring
    virt options for new volumes at the click of a button as opposed
    to setting them manually through volume-set command.
