highmem test

1. 下面是使能highmem 和添加 highmem memory region的一个补丁：

 }

2. 这是一个test highmem的简单程序： 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//#include "string.h"

#define SIZE_128M_RAM 128*1024*1024

int main(int argc ,char**argv[])
{
        char *p256m = NULL;


        //分配128M内存，并初始化
        p256m= malloc(SIZE_128M_RAM);
  
        memset(p256m, 0 , SIZE_128M_RAM);

        // 让他一直在运行
        while(1);

        return 0;

}

3. 运行测试程序：
