I don't think this is such a good idea. On 64 bit it's no different from GFP_KERNEL and on 32 bit where we do have highmem, kmap space is at a premium, so doing a highmem allocation + kmap is more wasteful of resources than simply doing GFP_KERNEL. In general, you should only do GFP_HIGHMEM if the page is going to be mostly used by userspace, which really isn't the case here. James
