This doesn't feel right. The vhost-user-blk disk was introduced fairly
recently and 3.9.0 is just ancient. Digging into commits, vhost-user-blk
disk was introduced in v7.1.0 and I didn't check whether it supported
the attribute from the very beginning.

I think if we want to document the attribute then we should probably do
it like this:

The optional ``queues`` attribute specifies the number of virt queues
for virtio-blk ( :sinnce:`Since 3.9.0) or vhost-user-blk ( :since:`Since
X.Y.Z` ).
