Hi Joris,

I'm in the same boat -- upgraded from kvm-36 to kvm-46 and I'm seeing
identical network problems.

host: quad 64-bit 2.6.20.4
guests: 32-bit 2.6.18, 32-bit 2.6.21, 64-bit 2.6.18

No difference with -no-kvm-irqchip and with "taskset -c 1".  I haven't
had a chance to debug it much further yet, although trying a different
network card might be my next step.  I was also (reluctantly) going to
try rebooting the host in case unloading the kvm-36 modules left
something in a bad state.

An especially strange thing is that, before the network dies, sshing
from my desktop->host->guest has no problems (gigabit lan from
desktop->host).  But connecting directly desktop->guest leads to
frequent short delays and noticable lag when typing.  Since that just
seems weird I was going to try to figure that part out before I
reported this to the list :)
