Do you know any of possible scenario for this? Since that sounds like
an interesting idea.

I did a "ulimit -n" and I got 1024 as default. So even if someone
granted the QEMU process with more/unlimited file handles, we'll still
have a hard limit of ~1000 vfio-ioeventfds, which sounds safe.

But I agree that we can still have a even smaller limit for vfio,
especially we know explicitly on how many we may need in most cases.
I'll follow your choice of number because I totally have no good idea
on that. While if we are going to have a limitation, I'm thinking
whether it'll be good we have a WARN_ONCE when that limit is reached.

Thanks,
