I forgot to send my testing results.

I installed solaris from sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso.
It were with the default rtl8138 NIC, and the installer
configured rtls0 interface (so it actually at least
recognizable).

I left `ping -f $solaris-ip' process running for whole
night - it were still running in the morning without any
visible issues, at 100% CPU usage (2 cores - for ping,
host kernel and kvm processes).

Now, it looks like I forgot solaris enough to being unable
to set up new network driver, so I can't easily switch to
e1000.  Maybe reinstall will be faster for me.

So, basically, I can't reproduce the issue.
