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.
