The is my latest (old) branch:

-Kernel repo: git://kvm.qumranet.com/home/dor/src/virtio/kvm
-Userspace repo: git://kvm.qumranet.com/home/dor/src/virtio/kvm-userspace
Use virt-final branch.

It is not yet updated to latest virtio & latest kvm.
This version uses a pci device for virtio. Since I'm think Rusty's 
config space does not matches
pci config space I might consider changing it. (Preferably not, maybe 
I'll start using it until we'll have the windows
implementation).
I'll start work on it on Sunday.
Can you also publish your tree?
Thanks, Dor.
