How about (unsigned long)(~0)?

This code never finishes:

#include <stdio.h>

#define PAGE_SHIFT 12

struct list_head {
	struct list_head *next, *prev;
};

int main(void)
{
	unsigned long order;
	unsigned long mempages = ~0;

#if PAGE_SHIFT < 13
	mempages >>= (13 - PAGE_SHIFT);
#endif
	mempages *= sizeof(struct list_head);

	for (order = 0; ((1UL << order) << PAGE_SHIFT) < mempages; order++)
		;
	printf("%d\n",order);
	return 0;
}
