Yes, they're cloned from the virtual-template as needed.

"show idb" will give you an idea about interface descriptor blocks and
how close you are to exhaustion (not even close on that platform).  My
recolllection is that on the 7206VXR under 12.3 and 12.4 you get
20,000.  This is old neurons though.
