What about using U16_MAX here?

Where is the ->vq_num stored in a u16? I looked for this but didn't
see it.

I thought vq_num referred to the number of elements in the vq (like .get_vq_num_max), since this patch wants to limit to 0xffff.

But it actually refers to the number of virtqueue, so @Harshit why do we limit it to 0xffff?

Maybe we should explain it in the commit message or in a comment.

Thanks,
Stefano
