Stephen Hemminger d9d15a2eab sched: allow more subports
Increase the number of possible subports per port to allow up to 16 bits.
It is still possible that this will require excessive RAM.

Although mbuf structure is changed, it is ABI compatiable since it
just expands existing sched part of structure to overlap pre-existing hole
in the hash element of structure.
