Not sure if I quite follow this part. We should not be relying on truncation: the
pfn should be derived off of zone addresses ?

Thx for the fix. I verified that a 2 mem bank system with HIGHMEM enabled now
works again.
And I've also added a couple of lines to changelog to describe how to test such a
config.

|    To test this:
|    1. Enable HIGHMEM in ARC config
|    2. Enable 2 memory banks in haps_hs.dts (uncomment the 2nd bank)
