It might have been interesting several years ago, but now that linux has vhost-net in kernel, the only point seems to be to speed up networking on non-linux hosts. Since non-linux does not have kvm, I doubt virtio is a bottleneck. IMO yet another networking backend is a distraction, and confusing to users. In any case, I'd like to see virtio-blk dataplane replace non dataplane first.
