In the root table, there is some limitation of total number of header
modify actions, 16 or 8 for each. But in other tables, there is no
such strict limitation. In an IPv6 case, the IP fields modifying
will occupy more actions than that in IPv4, so the total support
number should be increased in order to support as many actions as
possible for an IPv6 + TCP packet.
And in the meanwhile, the memory consumption should also be taken
into consideration because sometimes only several actions are needed.
The root table checking could also be done in low layer driver and
the error code will be returned if the actions number is over the
maximal supported value.
