Ah, I see -- I was looking at the __hyp_attach_page() loop.

I think it's a good point, I should be able to figure out a max order
based on the size and alignment of the pool, and cache that in struct
hyp_pool to optimize cases where this is < HYP_MAX_ORDER.
Should be easy enough, I'll see what I can do in v3.

Thanks!
