That has been mostly a rhetorical question. The thing is that our
platform is 32bit and it is active user of highmem.) So I am very
puzzled how I haven't noticed a effect caused by that bug before.
Most likely that happened due to our platform having a first memory
chunk starting with physical address 0x0. That's why we always have a
low memory defined.
