Convert bvec_k{un,}map_irq() from macros to static inline functions if
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM, so we can easier detect mistakes like the one fixed in
93055c31045a2d5599ec613a0c6cdcefc481a460 ("ps3disk: passing wrong variable to
bvec_kunmap_irq()")

Compile-tested on m68k only. Not on ppc64 with the old ps3disk.

Does this cause any warnings on the existing kernel? It's the same issue
we have with the kunmap_atomic() API, and they are generally used to map
structures etc as well. So char * isn't necessarily always a good
choice, and hence the "fix" there is to just check whether a page struct
is being passed in or not.

OK, so did a quick grep, and there's just the two users of it. So pretty
straight forward, I'll add your patch. Thanks!
