I suppose we kept the old limit for historical reasons, so I've no real
objection to raising it, except the error messages now need to be beefed
up.  We need one for the ida_get_new() failure and the original
exhaustion messages needs to move to the sd_format_disk_name() check ...
that's now what checks we don't go over the possible size in
DISK_NAME_LEN (I know at 32 it's way beyond INT_MAX ... but just in case
someone decides to lower it) ... probably it's the same error message
(but better make it unique for the static checkers).
