1GB/2GB/3GB User Space Splitting Patch 2.6.8.1 (PSEUDO SPAM)

[jmerkey]

That incredibly useful patch for 2.4.X that Andrea wrote that splits the kernel user space 
into 1GB/2GB/3GB sections  I ported to 2.6.8.1 and posted it to:

ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/jmerkey/patches/linux-2.6.8.1-highmem-split-08-25-04.patch

I was not able to located a 2.6.8 version of this patch so I ported one.  I apologize in advance
if I replicated anyone elses work.

Using HIGHMEM (aka.  the extended Linux TLB reloading hits/second test) is not optimal for embedded systems and appliance versions of Linux we use so this is submitted.  I'll maintain
this patch (and keep it working) for folks who need it.

Would be nice to have in the kernel for appliance Linux.
