Are you interested in collecting ports of the drivers for various distributions?

I have the virtio drivers working with RHEL4. The virtio_net appears to be
working better than e1000 for the workload I am testing with (though I still the
need the noapic boot option).  The virtio_blk driver mostly works (the VM
freezes from time and time which gdb and strace seem to clear); its performance
so far lags the scsi driver.
