OK, this is actually correct, I think. Looks funny. :)

Why is this not obj-$(CONFIG_HIGHMEM) ?

I would not do this. I would try to include <linux/highmem.h>
into arch/sparc/mm/highmem.c (instead of <asm/highmem.h> as you did).

Also, now that you moved a bunch of implementation out of inlines,
try to trim the #include list at the top of <asm-sparc/highmem.h>.
For instance, asm/vaddrs.h is a suspect.

The rest of the patch is sane, as far as I can tell. I do not
have a ready to run 2.4 sparc box, sorry. Please ask sparclinux@vger
people to test, especially Uzi.
