If I enable HIGHMEM in my .config (see my previous bug report for my
.config and just change HIGHMEM to enabled) compilation fails: 
The patch below fixes it.

+	This enables UML's highmem support.  This allows UML to have
+	more physical memory than it can map into its virtual address
+	space.  In tt mode, or with CONFIG_MODE_TT enabled, the limit is a
+	bit less than 512M.  With CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled and
+	CONFIG_LOAD_LOW and CONFIG_STATIC_LINK enabled, the limit is
+	around 2.75G.
+	Enabling this option slows down UML, signficantly in skas mode.
