I think this should probably check: for mq mode, use the first vq, otherewise use the 0th.For rx_pending/tx_pending I think what is required here is the actual number of outstanding buffers. Dave, Eric - right? So this should be the total over all rings and to be useful, rx_max_pending/tx_max_pending should be the total too.
So far as I know, all current implementations use the number of descriptors per ring here. virtio_net should be consistent with this. Ben.

For bonus points, check this assertion at probe time.Looks like we can easily support different queues too.
