SubjectOverhead of highpte
Some people were saying they couldn't see an overhead with highpte.
Seems pretty obvious to me still. It should help *more* on the NUMA
box, as PTEs become node-local.

The kmap_atomic is, of course, perfectly understandable. The increase
in the rmap functions is a bit of a mystery to me.
