This isn't a "tweak" on ARM as in a user-adjustable value.  It needs to
specifically be reduced to prevent things from blowing up.

So, when SA1111-type machines are selected, the max zone order _must_
(no ifs or buts) be set to 9 or below.

And the reason we have it in the configuration rather than the code is
to get rid of crap like the above.
