This patch converts virtio_net to a multi queue device. After negotiated
VIRTIO_NET_F_MULTIQUEUE feature, the virtio device has many tx/rx queue pairs,
and driver could read the number from config space.
The driver expects the number of rx/tx queue paris is equal to the number of
vcpus. To maximize the performance under this per-cpu rx/tx queue pairs, some
optimization were introduced:
- Txq selection is based on the processor id in order to avoid contending a lock
whose owner may exits to host.
- Since the txq/txq were per-cpu, affinity hint were set to the cpu that owns
the queue pairs.

MAX_QUEUES is the limitation of RX or TX.
Right, it's a typo, thanks.
