[ 18/54] Staging: android: binder: Allow using highmem for binder buffers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arve HjÃnnevÃg <arve@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 585650dcec88e704a19bb226a34b6a7166111623 upstream.

The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder
buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating
these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may
be required elsewhere.
