This looks useful. Might be nice to add a debugfs option
to change this at runtime as well.

Can you add help text here? It would be useful to clarify that the
units are in pages and that 0 will allow unlimited growth of the
pool. This should also clarify that this is a limit per
individual pool and not a limit for all page pools in the system.

I don't think the extra #define helps anything here, was
there something else intended here?
