tdmr_reserved_area is 16 bytes.  To overflow a signed int, tdmr_sz would
need to be for an allocation >2GB.  alloc_pages_exact() tops out at
supplying 4MB allocations.

So, sure, this breaks at max_reserved_per_tdmr>2^27, but it actually
breaks *EARLIER* at max_reserved_per_tdmr>2^18 because the page
allocator is borked.

Plus, max_reserved_per_tdmr is barely in double digits today.  It's a
*LOOOOOOOOONG* way from either of those limits.  If you want to add a
warning here, then go for it and enforce a sane value on
max_reserved_per_tdmr.

But, the overflow is *LITERALLY* an order of magnitude more obscure than
overwhelming the page allocator.  Let's not clutter up the code with
silly checks like that.
