Okay I did some rethink on this. So we should be able to make
MAX_NUM_CODEC_DESCRIPTORS to 16. But that will be ABI change :(

Also further down the road if people start hitting this limit add
additional ioctl to get more descriptors, but for Intel devices this is
okay, WM doesn't seem to implement this..

Thanks
