This is only used to test onlining/offlining subsection memory in
a x86_64 system by increasing section size to 2GB and pageblock size to
1GB when MAX_ORDER is set to 20.

+	  The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory

+	  This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
