Arc does not use DISCONTIGMEM to implement high memory, update the comment
describing how high memory works to reflect this.

* Even with PAE, the huge peripheral space hole would waste a lot of
- * mem with single mem_map[]. This warrants a mem_map per region design.
- * Thus HIGHMEM on ARC is imlemented with DISCONTIGMEM.

- * DISCONTIGMEM in turns requires multiple nodes. node 0 above is
- * populated with normal memory zone while node 1 only has highmem
+ * mem with single contiguous mem_map[].
+ * Thus when HIGHMEM on ARC is enabled the memory map corresponding
+ * to the hole is freed and ARC specific version of pfn_valid()
+ * handles the hole in the memory map.
