Oh. I see. But it becomes messy now that we also need to pass in the
names, and we lose type safety.
Let's just add a helper function for the single vq case?

static inline struct virtqueue *virtio_find_vq(struct virtio_devide *vdev,
					       vq_callback_t *c, const char *n)
{
	vq_callback_t *callbacks[] = { c };
	const char *names[] = { n };
	struct virtqueue *vq;
	int err = vdev->config->find_vqs(vdev, 1, &vq, callbacks, names);
	if (err < 0)
		return ERR_PTR(err);
	return vq;
}
