OK, I've already said that I think they only want to explain that you
have to omit the "type=ioemu" and "model=rtl8139/ne2k_pci" directives,
in order to turn that virtual NIC into a paravirtualized one instead of
a fully virtualized. I've tested it on xen 3.3.0 and Windows 2k3
enterprise with Xen PV Drivers 0.9.11-pre17, and it works! The MAC
address of the virtual card is exactly the same I set to. Here's the
config:

name="vw-storman2"

memory=1024

on_reboot="restart"
on_crash="destroy"
on_xend_start = "ignore"
on_xend_stop = "shutdown"
localtime=1
timer_mode=1

builder="hvm"
device_model="/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"

vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:0b:e9:5a,bridge=eth0', ]
# vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:0b:e9:5a,model=rtl8139,type=ioemu,bridge=eth0', ]
