So it turns out this can actually be something other than 12.
Search for CONFIG_ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT and CONFIG_PPC_PAGE_SHIFT.

arm64 supports 12, 14, 16 and powerpc64 supports 12, 14, 16, 18.

I think we should calculate the BUFFER_INDEX_MASK based on the
PAGE_SHIFT value. Even with a PAGE_SHIFT of 18, you can still
allocate up to 512 buffers.
