There are freely redistributable, but still they aren't published by upstream. You
can use these instead:
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/windows-binary-virtio-drivers-finally-released, but
there are a lot of problems with any windows 64 bits. And another problem, a big
really, is that you can¡t install a windows kvm guest directly to a virtio disk.
First you need to install to an ide disk, after generate a virtio disk and attach to
win guest, install the virtio driver and last remove ide drive ... very very ugly.
