Is there a limit on how many ioeventfds that can be created?

IIUC we'll create this eventfd "automatically" if a MMIO addr/data
triggered continuously for N=10 times, then would it be safer we have
a limitation on maximum eventfds?  Or not sure whether a malicious
guest can consume the host memory by sending:

- addr1/data1, 10 times
- addr2/data2, 10 times
- ...

To create unlimited ioeventfds?  Thanks,
