I think you're likely seeing a secondary affect. Right now, you issue synchronous I/O on the VCPU exit path. Blocking the VCPU to do I/O not only slows down I/O (since you're only handling one request at a time) but it has secondary affects on the guest since normally the guest can do useful work while waiting for I/O to complete. You really want to defer I/O to a thread pool to allow the VCPU to continue execution while the I/O is being processed. In QEMU, we use ioeventfd() with the virtio pci notify register which allows us to avoid heavy weight exits in this path. We handle the ioeventfd in a single thread and then dispatch the I/O to the thread pool. There might be a clever way to avoid that extra context switch. It may involve doing something like X = read(eventfd); write(eventfd, X - 1); though which seems pretty gnarly to me.
