[PATCH v2] powerpc: enforce sane MAX_ORDER

powerpc uses CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER, and some things depend on it
being at least 10 when 64k pages are not configured (notably the dart
iommu code with CONFIG_PM). The defaults are fine, but when going from a
64K pages config to one without 64K pages, MAX_ORDER stays at 9 which is
too low for 4K pages.
This patch makes the Kconfig enforce at least the defaults.

Indeed, it makes little sense to allow you to set more than the address
space, so here's a version with max 64.
