Mike Rapoport (IBM) 8c907785b8 arm: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text
Patch series "arch,mm: cleanup Kconfig entries for ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER",
v3.

Several architectures have ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER in their Kconfig and
they all have wrong and misleading prompt and help text for this option.

Besides, some define insane limits for possible values of
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER, some carefully define ranges only for a subset of
possible configurations, some make this option configurable by users for no
good reason.

This set updates the prompt and help text everywhere and does its best to
update actual definitions of ranges where applicable.

kbuild generated a bunch of false positives because it assigns -1 to
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER, hopefully this will be fixed soon.


This patch (of 14):

The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to
describe this configuration option.

Update both to actually describe what this option does.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
