Yes. The NVIDIA model passes through a Virtual-Interface to a VM,
and the VM can allocate and map multiple command queues (buffers)
to the V-Interface, by providing each command queue info in:

+struct iommu_vcmdq_tegra241_cmdqv {
+	__u32 vcmdq_id;
+	__u32 vcmdq_log2size;		// size
+	__aligned_u64 vcmdq_base;	// GPA
 };

Thanks
