Increase the limit on the maximum number of supported virtqueues to 256

Hmm and are we going to have to tweak it each time new hardware/firmware
is out? Can't this be queried in some way?
I thought to make the allocation dynamic once we have support for
setting max queues through vdpa tool.

Well this will make things a bit harder to figure out then,
right now you can assume no vdpa tool support -> max 16 VQs.
The patch breaks this. Is there a motivation to up this right now,
or should we just wait a bit for vdpa tool support?
+1 on waiting for vdpa tool support.

-Siwei


In fact there's a suggestion in code to remove the limitation -
any plans to do this?
Can you be more speicifc, where?
It's right there in the patch:

   /* We will remove this limitation once mlx5_vdpa_alloc_resources()
    * provides for driver space allocation
    */
