I got this to build by syncing up some headers in kvm/include/linux, but it doesn't seem to be working quite right. I have an unused e1000e nic in my system (eth10,00:17:a4:77:a4:08) that I ifconfig up, then launch a VM with the option: -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:17:a4:77:a4:08,vhost=eth10 The virtio nic is functional in the guest, but it gets packet dupes on ping, which is likely contributing to the poor performance, roughly 1/3rd of virtio-net userspace for tcp_stream and tcp_rr. I think I have all the offload option disabled on the nic in the host. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? This seems quite a bit off of the udp_rr results you posted.
