Right, thanks for pointing it out.

Can we move it to net_init_tap() for setting the right queue_index
for each nc?

Or, can we call vhost_net_set_vq_index twice, one at vhost_net_init(for
vhost-user mq support), another one at vhost_net_start(for vhost kernel
mq support)?

Or, do you have better ideas?

Right, it's unnecessary.

BTW, May I ask you a quick question: why set_netdev is invoked after
tap init, while it is invoked before vhost-user init?
