Added:
unsigned int xenblk_max_queues;
module_param_named(max_queues, xenblk_max_queues, uint, 0644);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(max_queues,
- "Maximum number of hardware queues per virtual disk");
+ "Maximum number of hardware queues per virtual disk." \
+ "By default it is the number of online CPUs.");

And made this return -ENOSYS.
