Is this even possible? This would imply that the section size is smaller
than max order which would be quite a crazy selection for a sparesemem
section size. A lot of assumptions on the validity of PFNs within a
max-order boundary would be broken with such a section size. I'd be
surprised if such a setup could even boot, let alone run.
