Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)

The "x86: 32-bit cleanups" patch series[1] from @arnd hit -next and thus is slated for inclusion in 6.15.

It removes some code like CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G that complicates things in some areas, but is mainly "about running 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware, which usually works but should probably be discouraged more clearly by only providing support for features that are used on real 32-bit hardware" – and unlikely to be used in the wild.
