... on irc Peter and me agreed it's not that wrong :-)  Anyhow, I merged
the two patches to get the benefits from both.  See below.

The patch with all it's dependencies based on -rc6 is available on

	git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux-2.6.git kmap-testing

Niko:  Your review would be very welcome because neither Peter nor me
have a machine with highmem.

Best regards
Uwe

Subject: [PATCH] Fix kmap_high_get() as kmap locking is gone
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This has the pros of both Peter's and my patch:

- It obsoletes ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET without introducing a big
  overhead for the archs not having defined that symbol.
- no code duplication between kmap_high_get and kmap_high
- a nice kmap_high_put function that does the same as kunmap_high
  without accounting
- no compiler warning about mismatched declarations
