So we can increase MAX_LINKS to 256 and that's what I think I will do
for 2.6.14 unless there is a very serious objection.  The tables sized
by MAX_LINKS in af_netlink.c are dynamically allocated, and the only
linear iterations over MAX_LINKS are for the netlink socket procfs
seq-file dumper, so it's not a performance issue either.

I think we should increase it when allocating new numbers to save the
unused memory for the larger nltable and additional pid hashes.
Userspace shouldn't care if we change it.
