powerpc uses CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER, and some things depend on it

64K pages config to one without 64K pages, MAX_ORDER stays at 9
which is
too low for 4K pages.
This patch makes the Kconfig enforce at least the defaults, I used 999
as the upper bound for no particular reason other than that it's
plenty.

The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
Hope about setting the upper bound to 32 or 64. Since I believe this
in effect 2^FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER, so 999 is just insane. I'd almost
prefer something like 16 since that might still be in the realm of
reasonable and able to work.
