I'd prefer if we didn't do this, because this isn't supposed to be a user
visible "option". It's an option that was introduced to avoid having to
throw masses of #ifdefs into the definition of MAX_ZONEORDER.
The problem with it is that it's a "well, what do I set this to?" option
and that leads to "oh, I'll just choose the default because I don't know
any better".
Do we know why EFM32 needs a value of 9 here? It's not documented in
the original commit, and it really _should_ have been.
