The arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER is introduced in

commit: a069c89 ([ARM] 3705/1: add supersection support to ioremap()).
But supersections and sections mappings are only used in !SMP && !LPAE case.
Otherwise, mapping is created using the usual 4K pages.
In most cases without !SMP && !LPAE, the big alignment cause high fragmentation
issue in vmalloc area.
Here we use arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER only in !SMP && !LPAE case,
otherwise use generic IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

Hmm... This looks exactly like my old patch -

(Thanks to Vladimir for pointing that out!)
Hasn't there been any progress about this issue?
