Sure, something like that sounds fine.  Though I'd
make the upper bound higher than 100.  Maybe a million?

Sun bug 4756989 was a user complaining that
SunOS getloadavg messed up when the load factor was greater
than 32768 on a Sun Fire E25K.  This was a circa-2004
design.  The bug was eventually fixed.

Granted, that was a stressed host, but
high load factors are not that uncommon on real-world
multiple-CPU machines.
