Yes and thanks. Following is a simple script may help you start macvtap mq
guest.

qemu_path=./qemu-system-x86_64
img_path=/home/kvm_autotest_root/images/mq.qcow2
vtap_dev=/dev/tap104
mac=96:88:12:1C:27:83
smp=2
mq=4

for i in `seq $mq`
do
    vtap+=" -netdev tap,id=hn$i,fd=$((i+100)) $((i+100))<>$vtap_dev"
    netdev+="hn$i#"
done

eval "$qemu_path $img_path $vtap -device virtio-net-pci,queues=$mq,netdev=$netdev,mac=$mac,vectors=32 -enable-kvm -smp $smp"
