The specification is pretty clear. From netif.h:
* Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
* transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
* between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
* they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
* prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.
