We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem
support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult:

- we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
- this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
- kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
out old mappings
- flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which
on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many()
- smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled:

In commit e616c591405c168f6dc3dfd1221e105adfe49b8d, highmem support was
deactivated for SMP platforms without hardware TLB ops broadcast because
usage of kmap_high_get() requires that IRQs be disabled when kmap_lock
is locked which is incompatible with the IPI mechanism used by the
software TLB ops broadcast invoked through flush_all_zero_pkmaps().

The reason for kmap_high_get() is to ensure that the currently kmap'd
page usage count does not decrease to zero while we're using its
existing virtual mapping in an atomic context. With a VIVT cache this
is essential to do due to cache coherency issues, but with a VIPT cache
this is only an optimization so not to pay the price of establishing a
second mapping if an existing one can be used. However, on VIPT
platforms without hardware TLB maintenance we can give up on that
optimization in order to be able to use highmem.

From ARMv7 onwards the TLB ops are broadcasted in hardware, so let's
disable ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET only when CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_CPU_TLB_V6 are defined.
