virtio-net-pci does not enable ioeventfd for historical reasons (and nobody ever checked whether it should be revisited). Note that other backends do enable ioeventfd for virtio-net. However, it has a major effect on performance. On Windows, throughput is _multiplied_ by 2 or 3 on TCP_STREAM (on small packets it is "only" a 30% improvement) and a little less so on TCP_MAERTS albeit still very much statistically significant. Latency also has a single digit improvement. This is not visible when using vhost, which forces ioeventfd=on, but it is substantial without vhost. In addition, also on Windows and with the RHEL 7.3 kernel, APICv seems to slow down virtio-net performance a bit, but the penalty with this patch goes from -25% to -7%.
