Is it really vital to your project to directly assign the NIC versus using something like virtio? A virtio-vhost solution should be able to easily achieve line rate for a gigabit NIC, at perhaps a small latency overhead versus direct assignment. RTL NICs aren't really the best candidates for assignment even in PCI form.
