Just to stress, cvq has a bunch of drawbacks. For example it is
hard to access from the hypervisor since it's DMA from VF.
This is why I think our direction should be to add a vq
transport that does all config accesses over admin commands.
Or maybe I'm wrong.

But, let's distinguish between requirements, and between
requirements and design. Getting supported counters is a requirement.
Doing this over cvq is a design. Reducing MMIO registers is
a requirement. OK?
