I think you misunderstand Anton's suggestion, which I agree with:
If you dynamically allocate the structures, there is no need for any
limit at all. Most Linux drivers dynamically allocate these structures
already, but a few (mostly simple) drivers do not.
In the future, dynamic allocation of these types of structures will be a
requirement, in order to proper object lifetime (ref counting etc.)
management.
