Here both two can be considered for figuring out nr_hw_queues:

if (housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_IO_QUEUE))
mask = housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_IO_QUEUE);
else if (housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ))
mask = housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ);

It could be more readable to move the above check to the caller.
