Yes, I would have expected something similar. A blktrace would be
useful here because Asias measured the opposite---virtio-scsi being much
slower than virtio-blk.

I would expect a difference on more high-end benchmarks (i.e. lots of
I/O to lots of disks), similar to vhost-blk. In this simple case I
wonder how much it is due to the vagaries of the I/O scheduler, or even
statistical noise.
