MIPS: Add a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER Kconfig option.
For huge page support with base page size of 16K or 32K, we have to
increase the MAX_ORDER so that huge pages can be allocated.
[Ralf: I don't think a user should have to configure obscure constants like
this but for the time being this will have to suffice.]
