If you'd like to try using the control virtqueue, I have a WIP patch
at crrev.com/c/1968200

The downside there is that when enabling IP forwarding the guest
successfully disables LRO,
which AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong!) is generally safe when
using virtio-net. My iperf
tests showed a ~90% bandwidth reduction, so we'd need to force LRO
back on after enabling
IP forwarding if the control queue offload patch lands.

This sounds okay to me. This does end up hitting a netdev_WARN later on though:
