No. it doesn't.
It reports nvqs passed in _vdpa_register_device().
And this API has clear definition of nvqs = number of virtqueues supported by this device
nvqs != number of used vqs.
So current MAX_VQS is doing its job right.
For example nvqs can be be 8 and guest VM driver may just use two VQs (1 tx, 1 rx, and used vqs = 2).
