While not strictly required with the current code (as the upper half of
page table entries generated by __set_fixmap() cannot be non-zero due
to the second parameter of this function being 'unsigned long'), the
use of set_pte() in __set_fixmap() in the context of clear_fixmap() is
still improper with CONFIG_X86_PAE (see the respective comment in
include/asm-i386/pgtable-3level.h) and would turn into a bug if that
second parameter ever gets changed to a 64-bit type.
