This patch results in various boot failures (hang) on arm targets in linux-next. Debug messages reveal the reason.
########### MAX_ORDER=10 start=0 __ffs(start)=-1 min()=10 min_t=-1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If start==0, __ffs(start) returns 0xfffffff or (as int) -1, which min_t() interprets as such, while min() apparently uses the returned unsigned long value. Obviously a negative order isn't received well by the rest of the code.
