Hi, Jiri

Before this set, I pushed the cvq irq set [1], and the discussion focused on the
fact that the newly added irq vector may cause the IO queue to fall back to
shared interrupt mode.
But it is true that devices implemented according to the specification should
not encounter this problem. So what do you think?
