[PATCH] kill off highmem_start_page
People love to do comparisons with highmem_start_page. However, where CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and there is no actual highmem, there's no real page at *highmem_start_page. That's usually not a problem, but CONFIG_NONLINEAR is a bit more strict and catches the bogus address tranlations. There are about a gillion different ways to find out of a 'struct page' is highmem or not. Why not just check page_flags? Just use PageHighMem() wherever there used to be a highmem_start_page comparison. Then, kill off highmem_start_page. This removes more code than it adds, and gets rid of some nasty #ifdefs in .c files.
