This number is seen later on in this patch, maybe it should be broken out into a
define, since it's reused later on too at [1].

Is this check really not needded what exactly is it that defines 256 as the maximum?

 From what I understand readdir(sysdir) is the call that defines how many 
devices will be looked through, and as far as I understand it can return an 
arbitrary number of files.

This out of bounds check should be dealt with too, if the above bounds check 
should be.
