It is not regression. MIPS Kconfig allows for excessively large
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. The patch changes nothing with regarards to this.
But it changes meaning of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER and old configs are now
breaks.

Thomas, could you help with formulating more sensible upper limit for the
config option, so it won't collide with SECTION_SIZE?
