We need limit the maximum size of queue, otherwise it may cause
several side effects e.g slab will warn when the size exceeds
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. Using KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE still looks too so this patch
tries to limit it to 64K. This value could be revisited if we found a
real case that needs more.

This doesn't limit the allocation to 64K.  It limits it to 64K * sizeof(void *).

Right, will fix this.

Thanks
