32-bit Arm doesn't have ZONE_DMA32, but has (or at least had at the time) a

interacts with LPAE and highmem, but I'm not sure of those details off-hand.
Well, arm32 can't address more than 32-bits in the linear kernel
mapping, so GFP_KERNEL should be perfectly fine there if the limit
really is 32-bits and not 31 or smaller because someone stole a bit
or two somewhere.
