Interesting.  You are correct there was no config component, at the time
I didn't have direct evidence that any architecture needed it, only that
we had an unchecked requirement on zones, a requirement that had only

Recently arrived? Over a year ago with the no-buddy-bitmap patches,
right? Just checking because I that's what I'm assuming broke it...

MAX_ORDER is 17 for ia64 so that probabally accounts for the
missalignment.  It is clear that the reporting is slightly over-zelous
as I am reporting zero-sized zones.  I'll get that fixed and patch to
you.  I'll also have a look at the patch as added to -mm and try and get
the rest of the spelling sorted :-/.

I'll go see if we currently have a machine to test this config on.
