Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/12] tipc: Add "max_ports" configuration parameter

From: Erik Hugne <erik.hugne@...csson.com>

Introduce the "max_ports" module parameter, which allows the maximum
number of ports supported by TIPC to be changed from the default value
at boot, or at module load time. Because of the way the port reference
table is structured and initiated, this value must be known at module
start time, and can not be changed later.

Until now this value has been set via a macro, and hence things
have to be recompiled if the value is to be changed. The Kconfig
knob and the dead code intended to change this parameter at runtime
are dropped.

Considering TIPC node addresses are unique on the entire node, the
64k port limit has proven to be a little too strict.  We increase the
allowed max to 128k. This is safe since the protocol headers allow
for up to 2^32 -1 ports.

Usage for module: "insmod tipc.ko max_ports=<value>" ; at boot, append
"tipc.max_ports=<value>" to the kernel command line.
