FWIW, how about doing the following: just before #5/10 have a patch
that would touch only microblaze, ppc and x86 splitting their
kmap_atomic_prot() into an inline helper + kmap_atomic_high_prot().
Then your #5 would leave their kmap_atomic_prot() as-is (it would
use kmap_atomic_prot_high() instead).  The rest of the series plays
out pretty much the same way it does now, and wrappers on those
3 architectures would go away when an identical generic one is
introduced in this commit (#9/10).

AFAICS, that would avoid the bisect hazard and might even end
up with less noise in the patches...
