Hi,

Before switching to io mode=native, I wanted to check if there are any disadvantages or potential problem with this setting.
I virtio-blk data plane required to use this setting effectively? (as illustrated here:http://blog.vmsplice.net/2013/03/new-in-qemu-14-high-performance-virtio.html) Is there a requirement on the host kernel (eg minimum version)?

Thanks in advance
