Is there any benefit gained by  porting 10Gb Ethernet adapters to
Qemu/KVM ? The question may be naive. Please forgive me if this doesn't
make any sense.

Onkar

Creating a new QEMU driver to mimic one of the 10Gbit adapters is
probably a waste of time, you should be able to get the speed by using
virtio.

Alternatively you can use SRIOV to get direct access to the  10Gbit
adapter in the guest if you want.
