Please take considerably more care when preparing patch changelogs.

kmap_atomic() is a very commonly called function so we'll need much
more detail than this to justify adding overhead to it.

I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM really needs to exist.  We could do
s/CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM/CONFIG_DEBUG_VM/g and perhaps your secret bug
whatever it was would have been found more easily.
