Estou passando por um problema semelhante executando o qemu kvm em uma máquina debian (embora eu esteja rodando através da libvirt). Eu disparei o congelamento de nic clonando um disco sobre o ftp em direção a um dos 3 vm em execução neste host, apenas a vm em questão parece ser afetada. Os outros 2 vm e o host continuam funcionando bem. Para mim também parece que o virtio está causando o congelamento.
