It is recommended to use this option only for trusted VMs under
administrator control.

+Limit the guest to using at most N event channels (PV interrupts).
+Guests use hypervisor resources for each event channel they use.
+
+The default of 1023 should be sufficient for typical guests. The
+maximum value depends what the guest supports. Guests supporting the
+FIFO-based event channel ABI support up to 131,071 event channels.
+Other guests are limited to 4095 (64-bit x86 and ARM) or 1023 (32-bit
+x86).
