gargh. preempt_disable (and, hence, kmap_atomic) do not bump
the preempt counter with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.
Is there a plan to change this?
If not, I don't think it's worth making this change just for
the highmem read/write thing (calculating `current' at each
spin_lock site...) I just open coded it.
This works. I still need to do the other architectures' fault
handlers, do writes and test it for more than seven seconds.
