Subject: [PATCH 205/270] Staging: android: binder: Allow using highmem for binder buffers

3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Arve=20Hj=C3=B8nnev=C3=A5g?= <arve@...roid.com>

commit 585650dcec88e704a19bb226a34b6a7166111623 upstream.

The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder
buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating
these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may
be required elsewhere.
