kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself. This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
kunmap()).
Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong"). This is done by
refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.
The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.

[2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
break at runtime."
[3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.

[5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?
