Subject: [PATCH 2/9] arc: update comment about HIGHMEM implementation
Date: Wed,  2 Jun 2021 13:53:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210602105348.13387-3-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210602105348.13387-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>

Arc does not use DISCONTIGMEM to implement high memory, update the comment
describing how high memory works to reflect this.
