Subject: [PATCH 1/5] clean up checks against "high_memory" variable
We have a new debugging check on x86 that has caught a number
of long-standing bugs. However, there is a _bit_ of collateral
damage with things that call __pa(high_memory).
We are now checking that any addresses passed to __pa() are
*valid* and can be dereferenced.
"high_memory", however, is not valid. It marks the start of
highmem, and isn't itself a valid pointer. But, those users
are really just asking "is this vaddr mapped"? So, give them
a helper that does that, plus is also kind to our new
debugging check.
