This is correct with PAE40, but it will break !PAE40 when "highmem" has
lower addresses than lowmem.

It rather should be something like:

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40))
                max_zone_pfn[ZONE_HIGHMEM] = max_high_pfn;
        else
            	max_zone_pfn[ZONE_HIGHMEM] = min_low_pfn;
