That's the situation we've got already - we compile Xen and KVM to use the rtl8139 nic since that's the best lowest-common denominator. It was a barely passable approach so far, but with VirtIO it is now past its sell by date and we have to key off os type/variant. If we don't then we'll be limiting guests to 1/100 of the their potential performance.
