Subject: [PATCH]: expose FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER on x86

Larger blocks of memory can be required for e.g. higher resolutions on
some capture card drivers; this patch just enables an already
available configuration option on x86 (it was already exposed on other
architectures).

The default is set to 11, as in
./include/linux/mmzone.h

[barco@...server001 linux-3.0]$ find . -name Kconfig | xargs grep
FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/ia64/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/cris/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/arm/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/s390/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/mips/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/sh/mm/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/blackfin/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
./arch/powerpc/Kconfig:config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER

The best approach for you requires two steps. The first step is
reading the Manual.
