  LINARO: [Config] Turn on CONFIG_HIGHMEM for vexpress

Hello there,

Question: in general, why would we use CONFIG_HIGHMEM instead of

changing the kernel/userspace memory split?

I didn't notice much of a difference either way, so I just picked one. I didn't do any real testing or benchmarking, so if there a better reason to choose the kernel/userspace split option (CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G=y) I'll put in a request to change it.
