 The driver typically does this as follows, for each virtqueue a device has:
 
 \begin{enumerate}
-\item Write the virtqueue index (first queue is 0) to \field{queue_select}.
+\item Write the virtqueue number (first queue is 0) to \field{queue_select}.
 
 \item Read the virtqueue size from \field{queue_size}. This controls how big 
the virtqueue is

this field is 0, the virtqueue does not exist.
