//! Allow limiting the number of file descriptors we allocate for the guest.
//!
//! Any process only has a limited number of file descriptor slots available for use, and besides
//! allocating FDs for the guest, virtiofsd also needs to be able to create file descriptors for
//! internal use.  By limiting the number we will allocate for the guest, we can ensure there are
//! always free slots open for such internal use.
