That's kind of the point of ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL - it's a user
option to let the user select a range of options for typical OMAP2+
configurations, so that the user doesn't have to dig around looking
for multiple options, some of which are hard requirements for OMAP
to be functional. OMAP is a particularly difficult case because the
hardware tends to be very complex.
However, HIGHMEM should never be a requirement to boot, so this looks
sane.
