The current kernel commandline for ux500 based devices includes
hard-coded allocations for things like mali and hwmem, which

avoid memory corruption errors.

Err what? highmem should make no difference if things are being done
correctly.

In other words, your patch description is too vague to understand what
the problem is and why you have to force highmem on - and nothing should
_require_ highmem.

I think I must have misunderstood some advice which was recently given to me. I'll drop the patch.

Thanks for reviewing.
