qemu wants to raise that limit. the old driver had a limit of 64hz
unless you used the override.  The new driver doesn't seem to have
this check.  It's arguable that it should, and it too should
have a sysctl though.

so if I understand correctly this driver  has hardcoded limits that can't be changed from userspace (yet) ?
