kzalloc virtual addresses do not work with SetPageReserved, use the
actual page virtual addresses instead via alloc_pages.
The issue is reported when booting with user_events and
DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y.

The int ret should come last.

I tried it slightly differently. Why waist bits if MAX_EVENTS is greater
than the order. That is, make MAX_EVENTS depend on the order, not the other
way around.

Here's a version that keeps the reserving part as well as some bug fixes (I
didn't even compile the previous version ;-)

This looks good to me, I agree having the max events aligning to page
order makes more sense going forward.
