Please provide more information on what this patch does. What additional capabilities does it provide? What could break if this patch is not applied?

Kevin,
as the commit title says, the patch is mostly about using the advertized maximum number of entries in the I/O queues rather than using a fixed number (256). In addition, the patch caps the number of entries in the I/O queues to 256 since from my testing, SeaBIOS was oom-ing when attempting to allocate more.
I'm going to repost with a more verbose commit message.
