The routing cache is removed, so this comment is obsolete. But it reminds
me that we set the gc threshold to ip_rt_max_size/2 in ipv4. With the
routing cache removal patch, ip_rt_max_size was set to INT_MAX. So the gc
starts to remove entries when a threshold of INT_MAX/2 is reached.

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/xfrm4_gc_thresh
1073741823

I guess this was not intentional.
