page_reporting_order was set to MAX_ORDER, which is always smaller than
a memory section size. An upcoming change will make MAX_ORDER larger
than a memory section size. Set page_reporting_order to
PFN_SECTION_SHIFT to match existing size assumption.

If you look closely, this is only a placeholder and will get overwritten in page_reporting_register(). I don't recall why we have the module parameter at all. Most probably, to adjust the reporting order after we already registered a user. Can't we just initialize that to 0 ?
