Perhaps iptables/tc can mark the stream based on the client process ID? Each VM has a qemu-kvm userspace process that will issue file I/O. Someone with more networking knowledge could confirm whether or not it is possible to mark based on the process ID using the in-kernel NFS client. You don't need to limit based on packets per second. You can do bandwidth-based traffic shaping with tc.
