    Revert commit 7f1290f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
    
    That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
    but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM.  With that
    change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
    zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
    zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
    buddy allocator.  Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
    allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
    
    Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
    now, let's return to the 3.6 code.
