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.  Thanks,

Alex
