We would welcome patches to the kernel. I think the first one you mentioned is probably in the queue to be examined but our team is busy with other development tasks at this time. Usually if there's an objection someone will comment.
IIRC, we only use 16 queues because the rest are used for other features. It might also be because we've done performance measurements and we didn't see any performance increase beyond 16. People like using all the cores and all the queues but that doesn't guarantee better performance in the real world. You're welcome to enable all the queues but that would require you to do some programming on your own.
