Allocate 3rd-level pagetables from highmem (HIGHPTE)

The VM uses one page table entry for each page of physical memory.
For systems with a lot of RAM, this can be wasteful of precious
low memory. Setting this option will put user-space page table
entries in high memory.

I have 1.5Gb of RAM, will this be useful for me?
