Higher order allocations for vmemmap pages from buddy allocator must be able to be treated as indepdenent small pages as they can be freed individually by the caller. There is no problem for higher order vmemmap pages allocated at boot time since each individual small page will be initialized at boot time. However, it will be an issue for memory hotplug case since those higher order vmemmap pages are allocated from buddy allocator without initializing each individual small page's refcount. The system will panic in put_page_testzero() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled if the vmemmap page is freed.
