The existing code supplies the same affinity gospels in the #vcpu ==
#queue case today.
And the patch (unless it has a bug in it) should not affect the #vcpu
== #queue case's
behavior.  I don't quite understand what property we'd be changing
with the patch.

Here's the same dump of smp_affinity_list, on a 16 VCPU machine with
unmodified kernel:

0
0
1
1
2
2
[..]
15
15

And xps_cpus
00000001
00000002
[...]
00008000

This patch causes #vcpu != #queue case to follow the same pattern.


Thanks again!
Ben
