Some apps in DPDK will set mq_mode to ETH_MQ_RX_NONE while
enabling multiple queue pairs, e.g.:
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/5b5bb56532fd5dea5d6260c0a0e405c0e32da2a0/app/test/test_link_bonding.c#L137
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/5b5bb56532fd5dea5d6260c0a0e405c0e32da2a0/app/test/test_link_bonding.c#L181-L182
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/5b5bb56532fd5dea5d6260c0a0e405c0e32da2a0/app/test/test_link_bonding.c#L3938-L3948
Testpmd will also set mq_mode to ETH_MQ_RX_NONE when multiple
Rx queues are enabled but rss_hf is empty:
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/5b5bb56532fd5dea5d6260c0a0e405c0e32da2a0/app/test-pmd/testpmd.c#L2935-L2938
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/5b5bb56532fd5dea5d6260c0a0e405c0e32da2a0/app/test-pmd/testpmd.c#L2945-L2948
(the flow_type_rss_offloads reported by virtio-PMD is zero)
My understanding is that, setting mq_mode to ETH_MQ_RX_NONE means
no method is enforced on how to route packets to MQs.
It looks that ETH_MQ_RX_NONE is the best fit for virtio currently.
