The specification is pretty clear. From netif.h:

 * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
 * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
 * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
 * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
 * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.
