A guest might be migrated to other hosts with different num_queues, the
blk-core should aware of that else the reference of &vblk->vqs[qid] may be wrong.

This should never happen; it'd be a configuration problem.
Do you mean all hosts have to be configured with the same number of ->num_vqs?
What about cases like migrating a guest from HostA to HostB while HostB is much more powerful
and would like to run more hardware queues to get better performance.

Thanks,
