[Bug 904480] [NEW] change default networking to virtio in Ubuntu packaging

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

rtl8139 is the default network adapter provided in openstack instances.

That is very slow compared to virtio.  The only reason you would want it
would be for backwards compatibility.

I believe that right now is the time to change that to virtio. If we
wait until after 12.04, we may, in 14.04 actually have a large corpus of
users who would have broken images by changing that default.  Right now
there are comparably a very small number of users/amis that would not
support virtio.
