Hi,
here my results.
I tested with "fio -name iops -rw=read -size=1G -iodepth 1 -filename 
/dev/vdb -ioengine libaio -direct 1 -bs 4k"

The qemu command was.

qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -m 512 -boot c \
-drive file=/home/martin/vmware/bisect_kvm/hda.img,cache=none,if=virtio 
-drive file=/dev/ram0,cache=none,if=virtio
-drive file=/dev/sda2,cache=none,if=virtio

Host Kernel 3.3.0+rc4
Guest Kernel 3.0.0-16-generic ubuntu kernel

On the host I use a raw partition sda2 for the disk test, in qemu I 
write with fio to /dev/vdc, though there is no fs involved.
The host disk can at max. 13K iops, in qemu I get at max 6,5K iops, 
that's around about 50% overhead. All the test were with 4k reads, so I 
think we are mostly latency bound.
