Yes, but for now, we have the same everywhere (as you also bumped the
limit on power and 32-bit arm, implicitly). If that's ok, we might as
well get rid of the ifdeffery.

Also, my additional remark in f3f710bc64e12 still holds:

"We need to find a more general solution, though, as we can't just grow
the routing table indefinitly."
