Saying more, the OVS register, which is used to store the bucket ID is a 16-bit 
reg8[16..31], which was introduced by Han.
@Han, can you clarify if it was planned to have 2^16 ECMP paths within one 
group (route)?
Or maybe this is not needed to have such a bit IDs space and we can give more 
space for the routes instead of paths?
