A queue size of 0 is used to indicate a nonexistent queue, so
don't allow the guest to flip a queue between zero-size and
non-zero-size. Don't permit setting of negative queue sizes
either.

Cleaner (imho)

    !num != !vdev->vq[n].vring.num

Pls don't put () around simple math.
It has natural precedence wrt <> so it just makes it
look like lisp.

> +        (num < 0)) {

How does it ever get negative?
assert (num >= 0) instead?

I think that's more confusing, and you really don't want
"guards so we don't let the guest do bad things" to be
confusing to read.

If the guest maliciously writes a value with bit 31 set
to the register...

Confusing to whom? That's really subjective.
You can use cast to bool or !! if you prefer.
     (bool)num != (bool)vdev->vq[n].vring.num

Point is, most other code in this file uses (x) and !(x)
and not != 0.
That's objective, so please, find a way to not test ==0/!= 0.

Make the argument unsigned then?

This is still confusing. We're trying to say "if the
number is currently zero, don't let it go non-zero;
if it's non-zero, don't let it go zero", and the clear
way to say that is exactly how I wrote it. This isn't
a critical code path so there's no speed justification
for obfuscating what we're doing.

   if ((!num && vdev->vq[n].vring.num) ||
       (num && !vdev->vq[n].vring.num) ||

Would make this function inconsistent with the
existing get_num() function.

What you write is too low level, you have to squint to
figure out it is correct.  What you are really trying to say is
"don't allow guest change between zero and non zero values".
That's why it's clearer my way: we test "zero" status
with !x (or non zero status with (bool)cast) and make
sure it is not changed.

Better, though != is still slightly clearer IMO.
