I don't think this is such a good idea. On 64 bit it's no different
from GFP_KERNEL and on 32 bit where we do have highmem, kmap space is
at a premium, so doing a highmem allocation + kmap is more wasteful of
resources than simply doing GFP_KERNEL. In general, you should only do
GFP_HIGHMEM if the page is going to be mostly used by userspace, which
really isn't the case here.
