that very much depends on what kind of filesystem tagging
you have enabled for the kernel, e.g. with
CONFIG_TAGGING_UID16 -> 2^16 uids, 2^32 gids
CONFIG_TAGGING_GID16 -> 2^32 uids, 2^16 gids
CONFIG_TAGGING_ID24 -> 2^24 uids, 2^24 gids
CONFIG_TAGGING_INTERN -> 2^32 uids, 2^32 gids
2^16 = 65536
2^24 = 16777216
2^32 = 4294967296

sure not, you will simply create the combination
of uid, gid and tagging for a guest

well, no sure somebody should, but somebody did :)
