In an upcoming change we would like to add a flag to GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE so that it would no longer be an OR of GFP_HIGHUSER and __GFP_MOVABLE. This poses a problem for alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable() which passes __GFP_MOVABLE into an arch-specific __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() hook which ORs in GFP_HIGHUSER. Since __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is only ever called from alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(), we can remove one level of indirection here. Remove __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage(), make alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable() the hook, and use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE in the hook implementations so that they will pick up the new flag that we are going to add.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
