配置KVM下windows虚拟机使用virtio驱动

一、virtiod的介绍：

（参考官方文档：http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/chap-Virtualization-KVM_Para_virtualized_Drivers.html）

    Para-virtualized drivers are available for virtualized Windows guests running on KVM hosts. These para-virtualized drivers are included in the virtio package. The virtio package supports block (storage) devices and network interface controllers.
    Para-virtualized drivers enhance the performance of fully virtualized guests. With the para-virtualized drivers guest I/O latency decreases and throughput increases to near bare-metal levels. It is recommended to use the para-virtualized drivers for fully virtualized guests running I/O heavy tasks and applications.
    The KVM para-virtualized drivers are automatically loaded and installed on the following:

• Any 2.6.27 or newer kernel.
• Newer Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
• Those versions of Linux detect and install the drivers so additional installation steps are not required.

    The following Microsoft Windows versions have should work KVM para-virtualized drivers:

• Windows XP (32-bit only)
• Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
• Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
• Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit versions)

默认情况下安装好windows虚拟机，采用普通的驱动，即硬盘和网卡都采用默认配置情况下，硬盘是 ide 模式;
而网卡工作在模拟的rtl 8139 网卡下，速度为100M 全双工。采用 virtio 驱动后，网卡工作在 1000M 的模式下，硬盘工作是SCSI模式下
