Okay. I did not mean to imply, by removing those TODOs, that they
should not be done: just that they were a developer's notes to self,
that I found distracting there.

I've restored both TODOs (but changed the second to say
"hugetlb pages" explicitly, rather than the ambiguous "hugepage").

I don't see what's wrong with what's there, myself. Unfamiliar territory
to me, but mem_map_next() appears to have the same MAX_ORDER expectation.
Or perhaps you're just suggesting an optimization.

If it were obvious to me, I'd have gladly folded it in; but no,
please send your own patch for that, running it by Mike Kravetz
and Mike Rapoport and David Hildenbrand, I think.

Thanks, v2 follows,
Hugh
