I've updated patch "ext4: limit the maximum folio order" with the
one-character change in the patch.  Thanks for providing the fix, and
thanks for Stephe for reporting the build failure on PowerPC.

I've updated the dev and pu branches.  (The proposed update patches
are the patch series that I'm currently testing and is under review.)
