init_vq() -> virtio_find_vqs() -> vp_find_vqs() ->
vp_request_msix_vectors() -> pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()

init_vq() hands in a struct irq_affinity which means that
pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() will spread out interrupts and have one
for config and one per queue if vp_request_msix_vectors() is invoked
with per_vq_vectors == true, which is what the first invocation in
vp_find_vqs() does.
