What is the need of limiting the subdirs inside a dir ? Most people have need to limit the no. of files created as some of their applications are producing log/output files frequently. Did you have a similar issue of dir creation ?
I am asking this because altering anything inside the default standardised setup of an OS would results in performance issues.

Hmm I don't know if that can be done. But even if it is, I would still suggest not alter that when you don't have any issues. The max dir's depends upon filesystem and not on OS. ext2/3 can have 32k as the upper limit while ext4 has around 64k. So I am a bit in question if that can be customised.
