Here is a snippet of an rte_eth_dev_check_mq_mode() from the current master:

		switch (dev_conf->rxmode.mq_mode) {
		case ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_RSS:
		case ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_DCB:
		case ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_DCB_RSS:
			/* DCB/RSS VMDQ in SRIOV mode, not implement yet */
			PMD_DEBUG_TRACE("ethdev port_id=%" PRIu8
					" SRIOV active, "
					"unsupported VMDQ mq_mode rx %u\n",
					port_id, dev_conf->rxmode.mq_mode);
			return (-EINVAL);
		default: /* ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_ONLY or ETH_MQ_RX_NONE */
			/* if nothing mq mode configure, use default scheme */
			dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_ONLY;
			*if (RTE_ETH_DEV_SRIOV(dev).nb_q_per_pool > 1)**                  <---- This is one
**				RTE_ETH_DEV_SRIOV(dev).nb_q_per_pool = 1;*
			break;
		}

		switch (dev_conf->txmode.mq_mode) {
		case ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_DCB:
			/* DCB VMDQ in SRIOV mode, not implement yet */
			PMD_DEBUG_TRACE("ethdev port_id=%" PRIu8
					" SRIOV active, "
					"unsupported VMDQ mq_mode tx %u\n",
					port_id, dev_conf->txmode.mq_mode);
			return (-EINVAL);
		default: /* ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_ONLY or ETH_MQ_TX_NONE */
			/* if nothing mq mode configure, use default scheme */
			dev->data->dev_conf.txmode.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_ONLY;
			if (RTE_ETH_DEV_SRIOV(dev).nb_q_per_pool > 1)              <------ This is two. This is what your patch is removing
				RTE_ETH_DEV_SRIOV(dev).nb_q_per_pool = 1;
			break;
		}

And why is that? Just because RSS was not enabled? And what if a user 
wants multiple Tx queues? Mode 1100b of MRQE for instance?
