> Let's check that no hstate that corresponds to an unreasonable folio size
> is registered by an architecture. If we were to succeed registering, we
> could later try allocating an unsupported gigantic folio size.
>
> Further, let's add a BUILD_BUG_ON() for checking that HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER
> is sane at build time. As HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER is dynamic on powerpc, we have
> to use a BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() to make it compile.
>
> No existing kernel configuration should be able to trigger this check:
> either SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP cannot be configured or
> gigantic folios will not exceed a memory section (the case on sparse).
