Multiple queue support
----------------------
Many devices have a fixed number of virtqueues. In this case the master
already knows the number of available virtqueues without communicating with the
slave.
Some devices do not have a fixed number of virtqueues. Instead the maximum
number of virtqueues is chosen by the slave. The number can depend on host
resource availability or slave implementation details. Such devices are called
multiple queue devices.
Multiple queue support allows the slave to advertise the maximum number of
queues. This is treated as a protocol extension, hence the slave has to
implement protocol features first. The multiple queues feature is supported

The master enables queues by sending message ``VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENABLE``.
vhost-user-net has historically automatically enabled the first queue pair.
Slaves should always implement the ``VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ`` protocol
feature, even for devices with a fixed number of virtqueues, since it is simple
to implement and offers a degree of introspection.
Masters must not rely on the ``VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ`` protocol feature for
devices with a fixed number of virtqueues. Only true multiqueue devices
require this protocol feature.
