[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] extend limit of physical sections number

[Amos Kong]

 # qemu -drive file=/disk0,if=none,id=v0,format=qcow2 \
 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=v0,id=v00,multifunction=on,addr=0x04.0
 ....

Launching guest with more than 32 virtio-blk disks,
qemu will crash, because there are too many BARs.

This patch brings the limit of non-tcg up by a factor
of 8 (32767 / 4096), i.e. 32*8 = 256.
