    mm/CMA: fix boot regression due to physical address of high_memory · 6b101e2a

    high_memory isn't direct mapped memory so retrieving it's physical address
    isn't appropriate.  But, it would be useful to check physical address of
    highmem boundary so it's justfiable to get physical address from it.  In
    x86, there is a validation check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and it triggers
    following boot failure reported by Ingo.

    To fix boot regression, this patch implements workaround to avoid
    validation check in x86 when retrieving physical address of high_memory.
    __pa_nodebug() used by this patch is implemented only in x86 so there is
    no choice but to use dirty #ifdef.
