  The other architectures with ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are selectable,
but not for ARM64, this is to make it selectable on ARM64, which
is useful for user that need to allocate more than 4MB of physically
contiguous memory with 4K pagesize, also more bigger on 16K pagesize
too, the max value of MAX_ORDER is calculated bellow,

see include/linux/mmzone.h,

  MAX_ORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT <= SECTION_SIZE_BITS

  so max value of MAX_ORDER = SECTION_SIZE_BITS + 1 - PAGE_SHIFT

    | SECTION_SIZE_BITS |  PAGE_SHIFT  |  max MAX_ORDER  |  default MAX_ORDER |
----+-------------------+--------------+-----------------+--------------------+
4K  |       27          |      12      |     16          |      11            |
16K |       27          |      14      |     14          |      12            |
64K |       29          |      16      |     14          |      14            |

Applied to arm64 (for-next/misc), thanks!
