Are these range checks only needed because the pool isn't required to be
an exact power-of-2 pages in size? If so, maybe it would be more
straightforward to limit the max order on a per-pool basis depending upon
its size?
More importantly, it is because pages outside of the pool are not
guaranteed to be covered by the hyp_vmemmap, so I really need to make
sure I don't dereference them.
Wouldn't having a per-pool max order help with that?
The issue is, I have no alignment guarantees for the pools, so I may end
up with max_order = 0 ...
