highpte doesn't work with rmap at the moment, and causes users to get panics that aren't trivially obvious what is causing them. I vote we disable it until it works .... totally untested patch below ... does this look sane to people? Seems trivial enough that even I couldn't get it wrong, but .... ;-)
