The buddy allocator has a default MAX_ORDER of 11, which is too low to allocate enough memory for 512MB Transparent HugePages if our base page size is 64KB. This patch introduces MAX_ZONE_ORDER and sets it to 14 when 64KB pages are used in conjuction with THP, otherwise the default value of 11 is used.
