Any reason not to make this "buffer" extra large, e.g. 100+ to avoid having to
debug this issue again in the future?

Rather than a separate define that's hard to describe succintly, what about:

	int nr_fds_wanted = kvm_max_vcpus + <arbitrary number>

and then the body becomes

	if (nr_fds_wanted > rl.rlim_cur) {
		rl.rlim_cur = nr_fds_wanted;
		rl.rlim_max = max(rl.rlim_max, nr_fds_wanted);

		...
	}

And strerror() output too?
