or do we just punt and go for para-virt drivers.

Yes, but given a good back-end driver model, these should be  
relatively simple.  Especially if a couple examples were BSD licensed  
to kick start the development of these drivers. 
 Also it's a logistical problem because you'll need to distribute  
and setup
all these drivers even if they are written.
 
I would think the performance benefit would greatly outweigh the  
setup issues.  But, what do you mean by 'distribute and setup'?
