> storvsc doesn't use a dedicated hardware queue for a given CPU queue. When
> issuing I/O, it selects returning CPU (hardware queue) dynamically based on
> vmbus channel usage across all channels.
> 
> This patch advertises num_present_cpus() as number of hardware queues. This
> will have upper layer setup 1:1 mapping between hardware queue and CPU queue
> and avoid unnecessary locking when issuing I/O.
