I recently spotted a problem with >512Mb (CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not) & SMP that

You should also use sungem preferably to the old gmac driver.

Maybe you should officially deprecate the GMAC driver in favor of SunGEM,
then? Put something on its line in the config scripts that says
***DEPRECATED***, and something in Configure.help for it that says
something like "Please DO NOT use me, use the SunGEM driver instead!" so
there's no question, so maybe someday it can be dropped?
