Depends on BROKEN does not help anyone, we might better remove it.

Users are:

  paride drivers
  drivers/mmc/ for a few drivers
  3 SCSI LLDDs (two of those parport attached, one ISA)
  usb-storage

The thing that most matters is usb-storage that can't be used on
highmem systems, and maybe one or two of the mmc drivers might exist
on arm highmem systems.

In general nothing should use these, for MMIO/PIO based drivers they
should kmap, and for DMA drivers nothing should use the kernel virtual
address, except that the USB interfaces are a mess that seems to
partially require one.
