As noone vetoed the change I added this to architecture/x86/kernel.conf.sh:

--- architecture/x86/kernel.conf.sh      (revision 22620)
+++ architecture/x86/kernel.conf.sh      (working 22621)
@@ -63,6 +63,7 @@
                dnl Allow more than about a GB of RAM by default
                dnl
-                CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
+               CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y

                dnl Memory Type Range Register support
                dnl and other x86 goodies ...
