Agreed, I was trying to point out that highmem.h was being pulled from
somewhere else prior to my series, sorry.

Ah ok, I did not see that one. Ok I'll drop that change and this series should
be good.
I was setting up to submit another version with 3 more patches you have
suggested:
kmap: Remove kmap_atomic_to_page()
parisc/kmap: Remove duplicate kmap code
sparc: Remove unnecessary includes
Would you like to see those folded in? I submitted 2 of the above as a
separate series already.

Indeed.
FWIW the last 2 versions of this series have had no build failures with 0-day.
This series in particular just finished 164 configs without issue.
Would you like me to submit a new series? With your additional patches?
