i.e. Linux decides to stick with the defaults (starred) here ...

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] (IRQs 5 *10 11)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] (IRQs 5 10 *11)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKD] (IRQs 5 10 *11)

... instead of trying to minimize IRQ sharing by using IRQ 5?

What is needed on the guest side?  Looks like even 2.6.30 doesn't use 
MSI for virtio-net ...
