Just use boolean bottom_up here too? No need for the constants.

Why is the above added by this patch?

I don't think we prefix numeric literals with %.

It'd be nice to explain that bottom-up allocation is limited to above
kernel image and what it's used for here.

Maybe just print warning only on the first failure?
Otherwise, looks good to me.
