That's different cases from the MQ case.

There are no default values for speed and rss_max_key_size. And talking 
on speed without VIRTIO_NET_F_SEPPD_DUPLEX or rss_max_key_size without 
VIRTIO_NET_F_RSS are meaningless.
But for MQ, if without MQ, we know it has to be 1 queue pair to be a 
functional virtio-net, and this is meaningful.
