FBSD-13 - Vale maximum virtual switches.

Hi Everyone,

The other day had to simulate a network topology and I wanted to use 
vale switches instead of in-kernel bridges.

After creating a few switches I notice that there was a hard limit of 8 
switches ( that is clearly stated on the man page).

For my simulation I needed 32 virtual switches, hence I increase the 
value of NM_BRIDGES from 8 to 64.

After that I was able to create the bridges and they seem to work fine.

My question is, do we need that hard limit on 8? Should this be change 
to a dynamic value set with sysctl?

Best regards.
Santi
