We would like to be able to create large VMs (up to 224 vCPUs atm) with
up to 128 virtio-net cards, where each card needs a TX+RX queue per vCPU
for optimal performance (as well as config & control interrupts per
card). Adding in extra virtio-blk controllers with a queue per vCPU (up
to 192 disks) yields a total of about ~100k IRQ routes, rounded up to
128k for extra headroom and flexibility.
The current limit of 4096 was set in 2018 and is too low for modern
demands. It also seems to be there for no good reason as routes are
allocated lazily by the kernel anyway (depending on the largest GSI
requested by the VM).

Thank you!
I want to ping everyone once again to take a look at this, I think this
patch is quite trivial and unlocks larger VMs for free, would really
appreciate a review from anyone interested!
