In the general case we could have multiple regions.  If we
add a region arg here we can handle that if needed.
region_index would be {1..}.  ps3_repository_read_highmem_info
could hold how many regions, so:

  int ps3_repository_read_highmem_base(unsigned int region_index, u64 *highmem_base);
  int ps3_repository_read_highmem_size(unsigned int region_index, u64 *highmem_size);
  int ps3_repository_read_highmem_region(unsigned int region_index, u64 *highmem_base, u64 *highmem_size);

I think something like this seems better:

int ps3_repository_read_highmem_base(unsigned int region_index, u64 *highmem_base)
{
	return read_node(PS3_LPAR_ID_CURRENT,
		make_first_field("highmem", 0),
		make_field("region", region_index),
		make_field("base", 0),
		0,
		highmem_base, NULL);
}

	ps3_repository_read_highmem_base(1, highmem_base);
