Subject: [193/197] KVM: Increase NR_IOBUS_DEVS limit to 200

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sri@...ibm.com>

(Cherry-picked from commit e80e2a60ff7914dae691345a976c80bbbff3ec74)

This patch increases the current hardcoded limit of NR_IOBUS_DEVS
from 6 to 200. We are hitting this limit when creating a guest with more
than 1 virtio-net device using vhost-net backend. Each virtio-net
device requires 2 such devices to service notifications from rx/tx queues.
