If you really want to change this stuff, I would suggest updating comments,
because nowadays, struct inet_peer on IA32 uses 128 bytes.

So 32768 entries would consume 4 MB,
   16384 entries would consume 2 MB

and 4096 entries would consume 512KB

Another idea would be to get rid of the cascade and use something that
will not need to be adjusted in the future.
