Sorry for being unclear what I meant is actually
1) SVQ uses 32K queue size
2) guest vq uses 256
This looks like a burden that needs extra logic and may damage the
performance.
And this can lead other interesting situation:
1) SVQ uses 256
2) guest vq uses 1024
Where a lot of more SVQ logic is needed.

I mean, it looks to me the logic will be much more simplified if we just
allocate the shadow virtqueue with the size what guest can see (guest
vring).
Then we don't need to think if the difference of the queue size can have
any side effects.

Yes.
Thanks
