The max DMA size is a attribute of a virtio device rather than any VQ, 
so I guess virtio_max_dma_size(const struct virtio_device *vdev) is clear.

On the other hand, if changing the parameter to vq, we need select a VQ, 
then the question is:
1, which VQ to select? VQ0 or a random one? this leads confusing.
2, The virtio spec defines: Each device can have zero or more virtqueues
