My point was really that a single interface (thp_vma_allowable_orders) should be
used to get this information. I have no strong opinon on how the implementation
of that interface looks. What you suggest below seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I hadn't seen David's suggestion until after I sent my mail. But I think we are
both suggesting the same thing.
