Maybe. There are other similar limits that could be explored and
fixed, for example Qemu  supports 16 CPUs on a plain Sun4m and there
are patches allowing lots of disks. But I don't see what's the point
fixing the issues if there are no real machines where removing these
limits would matter.

If I implemented in Qemu a completely new system (Sun4q?) with a
Sparc-like CPU of my own design, would you accept any patches to
support that in Linux?
