On PPC32, pte_offset_map() does a kmap_atomic() in order to support
page tables allocated in high memory, just like ARM and x86/32.
But since at least 2008 and commit 8054a3428f ("powerpc: Remove dead
CONFIG_HIGHPTE"), page tables are never allocated in high memory.
When the page is in low mem, kmap_atomic() just returns the page
address but still disable preemption and pagefault. And it is
not an inlined function, so we suffer function call for no reason.
Make pte_offset_map() the same as pte_offset_kernel() and make
pte_unmap() void, in the same way as PPC64 which doesn't have HIGHMEM.

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.
