Contiguous Memory Allocator requires each of its regions to be aligned in such a way that it is possible to change migration type for all pageblocks holding it and then isolate page of largest possible order from the buddy allocator (which is MAX_ORDER-1). This patch relaxes alignment requirements by one order, because MAX_ORDER alignment is not really needed.
