Manually bumping either nf_conntrack_buckets or nf_conntrack_max has
become a common task as our Linux servers tend to serve more and more
clients/applications, so let's adjust nf_conntrack_buckets this to a
more updated value.
Now for systems with more than 4GB of memory, nf_conntrack_buckets
becomes 65536 instead of 16384, resulting in nf_conntrack_max=256k
entries.

I grepped through the code and picked bits about nf_conntrack sysctl api
and put that into one documentation file.
