I think it would be better to put the #ifdef within the function body so 
that there's no chance of prototype-drift.

Is there an arch-independent test to see if a pfn is considered highmem 
or not (which returns a constant on non-highmem configurations)?  If so, 
then I think this could be common without having to go via a struct page.
