The comment in mmzone.h currently details exhaustive per-architecture bit-width lists and explains alignment using min(PAGE_SHIFT, PFN_SECTION_SHIFT). Such details risk falling out of date over time and may inadvertently be left un-updated. We always expect a single section to cover full pages. Therefore, we can safely assume that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is large enough to accommodate SECTION_MAP_LAST_BIT. We use BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure this. Update the comment to accurately reflect this consensus, making it clear that we rely on a single section covering full pages.
