check_for_regular_memory() doesn't. It is CONFIG_HIGHMEM specific.
The trick is in node_status definition. N_NORMAL_MEMORY and
N_HIGHMEMORY share the same value. then
node_set_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) turn on both normal and
highmem bitmask.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
enum node_states {
        N_POSSIBLE,             /* The node could become online at some point */
        N_ONLINE,               /* The node is online */
        N_NORMAL_MEMORY,        /* The node has regular memory */
#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM
        N_HIGH_MEMORY,          /* The node has regular or high memory */
#else
        N_HIGH_MEMORY = N_NORMAL_MEMORY,
#endif
        N_CPU,          /* The node has one or more cpus */
        NR_NODE_STATES
};
