As Mike pointed out, my intention with supporting the 0 case was to 
cleanup the __destroy_compound_gigantic_page code by moving the ifdef 
CONFIG_64BIT lines to folio_set_compound_order(). I'll add the 
VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO line as well as a comment to make it clear it is not 
normally supported.

+/*
+ * _folio_nr_pages and _folio_order are invalid for
+ * order-zero pages. An exception is hugetlb, which passes
+ * in a zero order in __destroy_compound_gigantic_page().
+ */
  static inline void folio_set_compound_order(struct folio *folio,
                 unsigned int order)
  {
+       VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio);
+
         folio->_folio_order = order;
  #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
         folio->_folio_nr_pages = order ? 1U << order : 0;

Does this comment work?
