That would solve the problem, and probably in the least disruptive
manner too, since the existing solution will continue to work, and
we'd only need to fixup the movw instructions if we're building in
support for the rare 'high-lowmem' situation.

We don't even need any different module marking - the 'high-lowmem'
modules don't need their movw instructions fixed.
