__GFP_HIGH unused?

My trusty grep tells me that __GFP_HIGH is unused in the current 2.4.0-test12
tree.  Will it ever come back?  Or is GFP_ATOMIC being abused as a flag
somewhere?  If neither of these is true, am I right in saying there's no
difference between GFP_USER and GFP_KERNEL?

I was trying to amend the kernel-doc for kmalloc and started looking
through some of this, but I'm a little lost.  Things have changed a
lot since the description I was working from in Rubini's _Linux
Device Drivers_ (which covers 2.0).
