Anyway as a short term fix Jamal suggested making a sysctl for this

would the sysctl approach be satisfactory? The other option is to just
bump the limit and recognise that the user is on his own if performance
sucks.
You could just add a bitmap with a reasonable upper limit (1024?) and use
find_first_zero_bit() I doubt doing that would be very intrusive.
