dmesg (5.16.18, PowerMac G4 DP)

Noticed my G4 DP ran a bit sluggish... Turned out it uses only 614664K of
2097152K RAM. Happens on both kernel 5.16.18 and 5.17.1. Kernels 5.15 and
before work as expected.

It seems to be a problem with highmem as 5.16.18 and 5.1.7.1 show 0K highmem.
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y is of course set.

Kernel 5.16.18 says:

On kernel 5.15.23 I got highmem as expected:

For testing I used the kernel .config from 5.15.32 for 5.16.18 via make
oldconfig and selecting =n for all questions.

This problem was introduced in 5.15 by commit 602946ec2f90 ("powerpc: Set
max_mapnr correctly")

Meanwhile the fixes landed in 5.16.x, 5.17.x and 5.18-rc3 is also ok. Thanks!
