Ok, I figured out that lowering CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER from 13 to 9
seems to fix the problem.
That error message could really need some improvement and at least a hint on what to do and why.

I'm also wondering, if the kconfig entry for CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER could
somehow be limited to 9, if 64k pages is enabled.
