In field deployments of OVS (mostly in combination with OpenStack) we
see that the 2K default MAC forwarding table is too small.
On average this tables is around 5k entries, hence this patch to
increase the default value to the next power of 2, i.e. 8K.
This increase in size does not automatically increase the memory
footprint, as the memory for the MAC entries, are allocated only when
needed.

Applied, thanks!
Ben thanks for applying so quickly, however, I seem to have messed up
the number :(
5K, was 50K (I counted zero’s wrong), which leads to 64K entries by
default.
This might make other people more opposed to the change, as it could
result in a lot of memory being eaten when someone does a MAC sweep
(attack), around 4Mbyte per bridge.
Any input here?
Thanks,
Eelco
