SubjectRe: [PATCH 5/6] ARM: ux500: Enable HIGHMEM on all mop500 platforms

The problem is that all users of ux500 systems pass a command line like

vmalloc=256M mem=128M@0 mali.mali_mem=32M@128M hwmem=168M@160M mem=48M@328M mem_issw=1M@383M mem=640M@384M

This is of course totally bogus and should not be done. If I understand
Lee correctly, one of the issues resulting from passing a command
line like this without enabling highmem is memory corruption.
