Whatever the case, there definitely does not appear to be sufficient
zone alignment enforced for the buddy allocator. I cannot see how it
could work if zones are not aligned on 4MB boundaries.
Maybe some architectures / subarch code naturally does this for us,
but Ingo is definitely hitting this bug because his config does not
(align, that is).
I've randomly added a couple more cc's.
