The maximum number of large flow groups applies to both small and large
tables. For very large tables (such as the 2G SW steering tables) this may
create a small number of flow groups each with an unrealistic entries
domain (> 16M).

Set the maximum number of large flow groups to at least what user
requested, but with a maximum per group size of 16M entries.
For software steering, if user requested less than 128 large flow
groups, it will gives us about 128 16M groups in a 2G
entries tables.
