Ahh. Sorry for missing point.
You're right. The patch can't help our problem.

How about changing following this?
The thing is MAX_ORDER is static. But we want to avoid too big
MAX_ORDER of whole zones to support devices which requires big
allocation chunk.
So let's add MAX_ORDER into each zone and then, each zone can have
different max order.
For example, while DMA[32], NORMAL, HIGHMEM can have normal size 11,
MOVABLE zone could have a 15.

This approach has a big side effect?
