And since all other filesystems are getting rid of HIGHMEM, it should
not be a problem for btrfs.

Although we removed the HIGHMEM allocation, we still keep the
kmap()/kunmap() pairs.
They will be removed when involved functions are refactored later.
I've sent the highmem cleanup and will drop this patch, there should be
minimal conflicts in the followup changes.
