I think this is a bug in the old gcc.

We have this in move_freepages_block_isolate():

	/* We're the starting block of a larger buddy */
	if (PageBuddy(page) && buddy_order(page) > pageblock_order) {
		int mt = get_pfnblock_migratetype(page, pfn);
		int order = buddy_order(page);

		if (!is_migrate_isolate(mt))
			__mod_zone_freepage_state(zone, -(1UL << order), mt);
		del_page_from_free_list(page, zone, order);

And this config doesn't have hugetlb enabled, so:

/* If huge pages are not used, group by MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES */
#define pageblock_order         MAX_PAGE_ORDER

If buddies were indeed >MAX_PAGE_ORDER, this would be an out-of-bounds
access when delete updates the freelist count. Of course, buddies per
definition cannot be larger than MAX_PAGE_ORDER. But the older gcc
doesn't seem to realize this branch in this configuration is dead.

Maybe we can help it out and make the impossible scenario a bit more
explicit? Does this fixlet silence the warning?

Zi Yan, does this look sane to you as well?
