Changing the PIPELINE_ROUTING_N_ROUTES_DEFAULT  is actually not required, this is simply the default value which can be changed through the configuration file. Please remove this.

With the next hop size of 24 bits, we can now make this configurable, so please use:

#ifndef RTE_TABLE_LPM_MAX_NEXT_HOPS
#define RTE_TABLE_LPM_MAX_NEXT_HOPS                        65536
#endif
