The initial assumption was ~2 files per guest, but some common setups
like Openstack drive up to 4 files per guest.
E.g. on Arm where the following XML leads to 4 file handles:
<serial type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</serial>
<console type='file'>
<source path='/var/lib/nova/instances/7c0dcd78-.../console.log'/>
<target type='serial' port='0'/>
<alias name='serial0'/>
</console>
With that in mind and the target to support 4k guests by default we
should raise the limit to 16k.
