Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vhost: increase default limit of nregions from 64 to 509

although now there is vhost module max_mem_regions option
to set custom limit it doesn't help for default setups,
since it requires administrator manually set a higher
limit on each host. Which complicates servers deployments
and management.
Rise limit to the same value as KVM has (509 slots max),
so that default deployments would work out of box.

Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@...hat.com>

PS:
Users that would want to lock down vhost could still
use max_mem_regions option to set lower limit, but
I expect it would be minority.
