      Strange, isn't it?

Only true when PAGE_SIZE == 4K and in 32bits. Perhaps like below?

#define CR_OBJHASH_BUCKET_NBITS (BITS_PER_LONG == 64 ? 3 : 2)
#define CR_MIN_OBJHASH_NBITS ((PAGE_SHIFT - CR_OBJHASH_BUCKET_NBITS)
#define CR_OBJHASH_NBITS (CR_MIN_OBJHASH_NBITS >= 10 ? CR_MIN_OBJHASH_NBITS : 10)
#define CR_OBJHASH_ORDER (CR_OBJHASH_NBITS + CR_OBJHASH_BUCKET_NBITS - PAGE_SHIFT)
