Get rid of FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER which limited allocations to order 8 (= 1MB)
and use the default, which allows for order 10 (= 4MB) allocations.
Given that s390 allows less than the default this caused some memory
allocation problems more or less unique to s390 from time to time.
Note: this was originally introduced with commit 684de39bd7 ("[S390]
Fix IPL from NSS.") in order to support Named Saved Segments, which
could start/end at an arbitrary 1 megabyte boundary and also before
support for sparsemem vmemmmap was enabled.
Since NSS support is gone, but sparsemem vmemmap support is available
this limitation can go away.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
