Have you tested it? Which HVM OS?
My test (with a rather old RHEL4 HVM) seems to indicate that when
ethtool show 100Mbps link speed on emulated Realtek NIC, that's the
actual speed. I only get 62 Mbps with iperf.

Using pv drivers (from RHEL's kmod-xenpv), ethtool doesn't report
ANYTHING in regards to speed, and iperf (on the same HVM domU) got
about 3 Gbps.
