H A Dhighmem-internal.hdiff 39ade048a32ea653b94dcfbf816b0b13a6be8a33 Wed Jul 06 13:15:19 CEST 2022 Fabio M. De Francesco <fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> highmem: Make __kunmap_{local,atomic}() take const void pointer

__kunmap_ {local,atomic}() currently take pointers to void. However, this
is semantically incorrect, since these functions do not change the memory
their arguments point to.

Therefore, make this semantics explicit by modifying the
__kunmap_{local,atomic}() prototypes to take pointers to const void.

As a side effect, compilers may produce more efficient code.
