This is difficult to read, it's easier to read if it's split out:

if (!high_memory && x >= PAGE_OFFSET)
return true;

if (high_memory && x >= PAGE_OFFSET && x < (unsigned long) high_memory)
return true;

if (x == MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
return true;

I'm really not a fan of the check for MAX_DMA_ADDRESS. arm64 gets away
with this because it uses the asm-generic version of dma.h which sets
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS to PAGE_OFFSET. __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) is used a
bunch of places in the kernel as a lower limit for memblock
allocation. The implication seems to be that MAX_DMA_ADDRESS
corresponds to something that corresponds to a real physical address.
The existing code happens to work because it will simply retry the
allocation if without the lower bound.

I don't see a good way to fix this though. It doesn't look like
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS can be changed if it's actually going to be used
for DMA and there isn't a unified way to just get a physical address.

Thanks,
Laura
