It showed up in same qemu version with virtio-scsi-pci, which we
already supported.

See paolo's feedback on v1. Currently qemu uses 1 queue for any number
not matching the number of vCPU. I don't think we should prevent it,
as it's very possible qemu will do some improvements.

Thanks for the reviewing, I pushed this.
