Our XML is not consistent on whether we prefer '-' or '_' in element and
attribute names, so I guess your naming is as good as any.

What happens if it doesn't match the number of vcpus?  And if it should
match, then why must we specify it in the XML, instead of supplying the
qemu argument automatically?  Did you instead mean to say that if the
attribute is not present, then the number of queues defaults to the
number of vcpus?

Any reason you reformatted these lines?

The rest of the patch looks okay, but I want to make sure we have the
design right before committing to it in this form.
