Current KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS limits are arch specific (512 on Power, 509 on x86,
32 on s390, 16 on MIPS) but they don't really need to be. Memory slots are
allocated dynamically in KVM when added so the only real limitation is
'id_to_index' array which is 'short'. We don't have any other
KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM/KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS-sized statically defined structures.

Low KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS can be a limiting factor for some configurations.
In particular, when QEMU tries to start a Windows guest with Hyper-V SynIC
enabled and e.g. 256 vCPUs the limit is hit as SynIC requires two pages per
vCPU and the guest is free to pick any GFN for each of them, this fragments
memslots as QEMU wants to have a separate memslot for each of these pages
(which are supposed to act as 'overlay' pages).
