System Configuration
    OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
    Kernel: 5.15.0-25-generic
    CPUs: 256
    NIC: Intel E810 NIC with 512 MSIx vectors each function


Errors
    Not enough device MSI-X vectors, requested = 260, available = 253


Findings
    (1) the current ice kernel driver (ice_main.c) will pre-allocate all 
required number of msix (even it's not enough for big core CPUs)
    (2) the commit 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ce4626131112e1d0066a890371e14d8091323f99
 has improved this logic, and it seems merged into kernel version from v6.1


So for supporting the new CPUs with more than 252 vCPUs, will Ubuntu kernel 
backport above patch to the current kernel (v5.15) ?
