Package: qemu-kvm Version: 0.11.0+dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Currently, kvm defaults to emulated hardware, not virtio. To make the use of virtio more automatic, I'd propose that KVM's virtio devices should have the ability to handle non-virtio systems (by also handling the attempts to access them as "real" hardware), and then KVM should default to these virtio devices with fallbacks.
