ARC already has that semantically - only not inline ! I really want to avoid 2
needless LD-ADD-ST for the disabling of preemption and page fault for the low mem
pages by returning early !
static inline void *kmap_atomic(struct page *page)
{
if (!PageHighMem(page))
return page_address(page);
preempt_disable();
pagefault_disable();
return __kmap_atomic(page);
}
