Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color. Such architectures
may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page mappings and
reuse existing cache management functions to support highmem.

Typically a change like this would be proposed along with a change to an
architecture which would define this new ARCH_PKMAP_COLORING and have its
own overriding definitions.  Based on who you sent this patch to, it looks
like that would be mips and xtensa.  Now the only question is where are
those patches to add the alternate definitions for those platforms?
Yes, there is one, at least for MIPS. This stuff can be a common ground for both platforms (MIPS and XTENSA)

That's not gramatically proper.

And that's not equivalent at all, --count decrements the auto variable and
then tests it for being non-zero.  Your get_next_pkmap_counter() never
decrements count.
David, the statements

            count = get_next_pkmap_counter(count, color);
            if (count > 0)

are extended in STANDARD (non colored) case to

            count = (count - 1);
            if (count > 0)

which are perfect equivalent of

            if (--count)
