Oops, I just found that I missed a simple test guide here, as promised
before. And here it is:

Firstly, you need get a virtio 1.0 supported QEMU (say, v2.5), then add
option "disable-modern=false" to qemu virtio-net-pci device to enable
virtio 1.0 (which is disabled by default).

And if you see something like following from 'lspci -v', it means virtio
1.0 is indeed enabled:

    00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
    Subsystem: Red Hat, Inc Device 0001 
    Physical Slot: 4 
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 
    I/O ports at c040 [size=64] 
    Memory at febf1000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] 
    Memory at fe000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=8M] 
    Expansion ROM at feb80000 [disabled] [size=256K] 
    Capabilities: [98] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=6 Masked- 
==> Capabilities: [84] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 <?> 
==> Capabilities: [70] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 <?> 
==> Capabilities: [60] Vendor Specific Information: Len=10 <?> 
==> Capabilities: [50] Vendor Specific Information: Len=10 <?> 
==> Capabilities: [40] Vendor Specific Information: Len=10 <?> 
    Kernel driver in use: virtio-pci 
    Kernel modules: virtio_pci

After that, there wasn't anything speical comparing to the old virtio
0.95 pmd driver.
