Am I missing something? As you explained, it makes little sense to change it for HIGHMEM which only affects MOVABLE allocations. Also I doubt there are many systems with both HIGHMEM (implies 32bit) *and* MOVABLE (implies NUMA, memory hotplug...) zones. So I would just remove it, and if somebody will really miss it, we can always add it back.
