This will reintroduce the pointer arithmetic removed by ddc81ed2c5d4
("remove sparse warning for mmzone.h") AFAICS. I have no idea how much
that matters though. The mentioned commit doesn't tell much about saves
except for
"
On X86_32 this saves a sar, but code size increases by one byte per
is_highmem() use due to 32-bit cmps rather than 16 bit cmps.
