No.  And that's probably not a great idea, since it will introduce lots of 
latency with deeper queues.  You could try increasing the 
"flow-eviction-threshold", which affects the number of flows allowed to stay 
resident in the kernel.  However, similar to the number of queues, you don't 
want to make it too big, since it could end up making the situation worse due 
to the overhead of ovs-vswitchd maintaining all those flows.  In more recent 
releases, we increased the default from 1000 to 2500.

Once again, I'd recommend using a more recent version of OVS, since it contains 
a number of performance in improvements.
