LPAE != highmem.  Two totally different things, unless you believe
system memory always starts at physical address zero, which is very
far from the case on the majority of ARM platforms.

So replacing LPAE with "highmem" is pure misrepresentation and is
inaccurate.  PAE might be a better term, and is also the x86 term
for this.
