This is "belt and braces" with commit 12e20a6a695f (disk/diskfilter: Check calloc() result for NULL): we end up trying to use too much memory in situations like corrupted Linux software RAID setups purporting to use a huge number of disks. Simply refuse to permit such configurations. 1024 is a bit arbitrary, yes, and I feel a bit like I'm tempting fate here, but I think 1024 disks in an array (that GRUB has to read to boot!) should be enough for anyone.
