The fixed tables that a bigger machine than the one they were written
on reaches first, each raised to where it costs little:
NPCI 64 -> 256 a desktop with cards and Thunderbolt passes 64,
and the devices past it -- often the disk or
NIC last in bus order -- were ignored; 44 KB
NSOCK 32 -> 128 Unix sockets, which a desktop session uses by
the dozen; 4.9 KB each, 470 KB in all
NDEVICE 32 -> 128 120 bytes each
NIFDEV 16 -> 64 one dock is a hub, Ethernet, audio and a card
reader at two or three interfaces apiece
NETIF_MAX 4 -> 8
Device names took one digit and clamped there, so the tenth device of
a kind and every one after it was named "...9". Two digits now.
Checked under QEMU with two bridges of test devices: 68 functions,
all in lspci, /proc/pci and /sys/bus/pci.
