Right, so a highmem page results in this returning NULL, which will...

cause ioremap_cache() to be called.  That falls through on ARM to:

	__arm_ioremap_pfn_caller()

and we will hit this (as I've mentioned before through explanation
rather than quoting code):

        /*
         * Don't allow RAM to be mapped - this causes problems with ARMv6+
         */
        if (WARN_ON(pfn_valid(pfn)))
                return NULL;
