2.4.21: Increase dynamic proc slots to 8192 from 4096
PATCH 1/1 2.4.21: Increase dynamic proc slots to 8192 from 4096
This fixes problems I was seeing while trying to create a large number of vlan interfaces (each interface has a proc file entry).
I hear it's even larger in 2.5.X, so if anyone wants to double it again, please feel free!
