Typo, I mean PV IO.

That also uses MSI these days.

A VF interrupt usually happens in 4-8KHZ. How about the virtio?
I assume virtio will be widely used together w/ leagcy guest with INTx mode.

True, but in time it will be replaced by MSI.

Note without vhost virtio is also in userspace, so there are lots of exits anyway for the status register.
