So, as kmap has limitation... if I correctly understood, you propose
to avoid macros and do smth like kmap:

	void *addr;
	if (!PageHighMem(&umem->pgs[i]))
		addr =  page_address(page);
	else
		addr = vmap(&umem->pgs[i], 1, VM_MAP, PAGE_KERNEL);

	umem->pages[i].addr = addr;

and while unmap

	if (!PageHighMem(&umem->pgs[i]))
		vunmap(umem->pages[i].addr);

I can try it, and add this in v2 if no objection.
