Kernel is reliable. It doesn’t expose a config space field if the field doesn’t exist regardless of field should have default or no default.
User space should not guess either. User space gets to see if _MQ present/not present. If _MQ present than get reliable data from kernel.
If _MQ not present, it means this device has one VQ pair.
