No.  Copying Chris.  This was with the tx mitigation timer disabled, so 
you won't see the usual atrocious userspace virtio latencies, but it 
won't be as good as a host kernel implementation since we take a 
heavyweight exit and qemu is pretty unoptimized.

There's still a lot of optimization to be done, but I hope this proves 
there is nothing inherently slow about virtio.
