But it may break the support of legacy guest. If we boot a legacy single queue
guest on a 2 queue virtio-net device. It may think vq 2 is cvq which is indeed
rx1.

Yes, we need this check. Will let the caller does the check and add a comment
and check in the caller.

Right, will use max_queue_pairs then.
