It might be worth just unconditionally having a cache for the 2
descriptor case.  This is what I get with qemu tap, though for some
reason the device features don't have guest or host CSUM, so my setup is
probably screwed:

Queue histogram for virtio0:
Size distribution for input (max=128427):
  1: 128427  ################################################################
Size distribution for output (max=256485):
  2: 256485  ################################################################
Size distribution for control (max=10):
  3: 10      ################################################################
  4: 5       ################################

Here's a patch, what do you get (run ifconfig to trigger the dump; yeah,
it's a hack!)

Hack: histogram of buffer sizes for virtio devices.

Currently triggered by a stats query (eg ifconfig) on a net device.
