There is lack of vector issue when number of queues is more than maxcpus as well.

I was going to send out patch to fix that specific case on virtio side.

BTW, is your VM's virtio mmio based or pci based?

As mentioned in previous email, when I was playing with firecracker by amazon,
the virtio-blk is mmio based. Not sure if that would lead to the lack of vector
issue.
