I think that PageHighMemZone() is long and complicated enough to have
a macro.

PageHighMemZone(page) =3D is_highmem_idx(zone_idx(page_zone(page))

Instead of open-code, how about changing the style of macro like as
page_from_highmem()? What PageHighMemZone() represent is derivated
attribute from the page so PageXXX() style may not be appropriate.

Thanks.
