The point I'm making it that just about every PageHighMem() check
before code that does a kmap* later needs to account for xpfo as well.
So instead of opencoding the above, be that using xpfo_page_is_unmapped
or PageXpfoUnmapped, we really need one self-describing helper that
checks if a page is unmapped for any reason and needs a kmap to access
it.
