You can use tracing (docs/tracing.txt). There are two possibilities:
1) use existing low-level virtio tracepoints: virtqueue_fill (end of tx
and rx operation) and virtqueue_pop (beginning of tx operation).
2) add tracepoints to hw/net/virtio-net.c (virtio_net_flush_tx,
virtio_net_tx_complete, virtio_net_receive) or net/tap.c (tap_receive,
tap_receive_iov, tap_send).
