Why was asm-ppc/highmem.h not migrated? linux/highmem.h and pagemap.h wants it.

I guess it was not migrated because it is only required for CONFIG_HIGHMEM
and, of course, ppc64 does not need HIGHMEM and presumably noone has tried
to build with CONFIG_HIGHMEM set in ARCH=powerpc until now.
Patches accepted :-)

Well, thats not really true, ppc32 builds/works just fine with that, if you
want to use more than 768MB.
The quickcam kernel module did include pagemap.h, but it works just fine
without it. So nothing needs to be changed in the kernel.

zaptel wants it as well, via netdevice.h/skbuff.h. I wonder why 32bit
compiles anyway, given the many users of linux/highmem.h. Looking...
Argh, still these hacks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 olaf users 64 2006-02-04 13:16 arch/powerpc/include/asm ->
/home/olaf/kernel/olh/ppc64/linux-2.6.16-rc2-olh/include/asm-ppc/
So better move it over quick.

You do realize there are a slew of headers in include/asm-ppc/ that
we use in the arch/powerpc builds for ppc32.

Yes, I just realized that I have to patch both asm/io.h files. ARGH!
