Windows VirtIO Drivers - Proxmox VE
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_VirtIO_Drivers
VirtIO Drivers are paravirtualized drivers for kvm/Linux (see http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio). In short, they enable direct (paravirtualized) access to devices and peripherals for virtual machines using them, instead of slower, emulated, ones.
Virtio - KVM
https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio
Virtio was chosen to be the main platform for IO virtualization in KVM. The idea behind it is to have a common framework for hypervisors for IO virtualization. More information (although not uptodate) can be found here. At the moment network/block/balloon devices are supported for kvm.

Virtio - Libvirt Wiki
https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio
So-called "full virtualization" is a nice feature because it allows you to run any operating system virtualized. However, it's slow because the hypervisor has to emulate actual physical devices such as RTL8139 network cards . This emulation is both complicated and inefficient.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Devices/Virtio
VirtIO is a platform for IO virtualization, common to several hypervisors (and QEMU). The guest operating system needs specialized drivers to handle these devices. To set up a VirtIO RNG, you first need to provide a source of entropy for it.
