This looks to be true on inspection:

__alloc_pages():
..
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order >= MAX_ORDER, gfp))

So a bit of a misleading name "max".. For the i915 patch:

Acked-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@...el.com>

I don't however see the whole series to understand the context, or how 
you want to handle the individual patches. Is it a tree wide cleanup of 
the same mistake?
