I am not sure these can be categorised as part of the state of the VQ.
It's more of a property so maybe we can have a callback to get the
properties of the VQ?

Moreover, I think they should be handled in the hardware drivers to
return 1 for both ngroups and nas.


We can, but those are static attributes that is not expected to be changed by the driver.

Introduce callbacks for those static stuffs does not give us any advantage.

For group id and notification area, since we don't have a abstract of vdpa_virtqueue. The only choice is to introduce callbacks for them.

Maybe it's time to introduce vdpa_virtqueue.

Thanks
