It's actually possible to enforce testing of highmem scatterlists
to an MMC card (one need to be careful as this is destructive
testing!)
drivers/mmc/core/mmc_test.c

..but the one relevant target I have is a Kirkwood and it only
has 128 MB of memory so highmem won't be exercised.

I'll put this into the cover letter on the other series (fixing a bunch
of drivers to use sg_miter) though.
