I thought vq_num referred to the number of elements in the vq (like
.get_vq_num_max), since this patch wants to limit to 0xffff.
But it actually refers to the number of virtqueue, so @Harshit why do we
limit it to 0xffff?
Maybe we should explain it in the commit message or in a comment.
Thanks,
Stefano
