I think userspace tool does not need to care whether MQ is offered or 
negotiated, it just needs to read the number of queues
there, so if no MQ, it is not "not any queues", there are still 1 queue 
pair to be a virtio-net device, means two queues.

If not, how can you tell the user there are only 2 queues? The end users 
may don't know this is default. They may misunderstand this
as an error or defects.
