It should certainly not be a kernel limitation, as it's possible to
add ~60.000 aliases to a network device without the vserver patch (I got
bored after that because ifconfig is quite slow with that many interfaces
so my script ran quite slowly. I usually use ip from the iproute2 package
to add the ipaddresses directly to the interface instead of creating an
alias.)
