When you use the vdpa device there are no resources wasted. The HW VQs that were
previously created at VM boot (during DRIVER_OK state) are now created at vdpa
device add time.
The trade-off here is that if you configure different VQ sizes then you will pay
the price of re-creating the VQs.
This could be mitigated by adding a default VQ size parameter that is setable
via the vdpa tool. But this part is not implemented in this series.
Ah, one more thing to keep in mind: the MSIX interrupts will be now allocated at
vdpa device creation time instead of VM startup.

You do need to have the latest FW (22.41.1000) to be able to get the full
benefit of the optimization.
