If user requested multiqueue networking, beside multiple /dev/tap and /dev/vhost-net openings, we forgot to pass mq=on onto the -device virtio-net-pci command line. This is advised at: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Multiqueue#Enable_MQ_feature --- Notes: Maybe worth backporting to maintainer branches too.
