Advertise multi-queue support in vhost-user by setting VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ
and VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ feature flags, and increase
VHOST_USER_MAX_VQS from 2 to 32, supporting up to 16 queue pairs.
Currently, only the first RX queue (queue 0) is used for receiving
packets. The guest kernel selects which TX queue to use for
transmission. Full multi-RX queue load balancing will be implemented in
future work.
Update the QEMU usage hint to show the required parameters for enabling
multiqueue: queues parameter on the netdev, and mq=true on the
virtio-net device.
