Here is how I play with it with the most recent qemu and linux.

Boot VM with 1 out of 4 vcpu online.

# qemu-system-x86_64 -hda disk.img \
-smp 1,maxcpus=4 \
-m 4096M -enable-kvm \
-device nvme,drive=lightnvme,serial=deadbeaf1 \
-drive file=nvme.img,if=none,id=lightnvme \
-vnc :0 \
-kernel /.../mainline-linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage \
-append "root=/dev/sda1 init=/sbin/init text" \
-monitor stdio -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5022-:22


As Ming mentioned, after boot:

# cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep processor
processor	: 0

# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/mq/0/cpu_list
0
# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/mq/1/cpu_list
1
# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/mq/2/cpu_list
2
# cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/mq/3/cpu_list
3

# cat /proc/interrupts | grep nvme
 24:         11   PCI-MSI 65536-edge      nvme0q0
 25:         78   PCI-MSI 65537-edge      nvme0q1
 26:          0   PCI-MSI 65538-edge      nvme0q2
 27:          0   PCI-MSI 65539-edge      nvme0q3
 28:          0   PCI-MSI 65540-edge      nvme0q4

I hotplug with "device_add
qemu64-x86_64-cpu,id=core1,socket-id=1,core-id=0,thread-id=0" in qemu monitor.
