sh: Provide FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER.
Several platforms want to be able to do large physically contiguous allocations (primarily nommu and video codecs on SH-Mobile), provide a MAX_ORDER override for those cases. Tested-by: Conrad Parker <conrad@metadecks.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

+ The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
+ blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
+ pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
+ keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
+ blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
+ increase this value.
+
+ This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
+ a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.
+
+ The page size is not necessarily 4KB. Keep this in mind when
+ choosing a value for this option.
