You can kill it, it is relevant only for the system with more than 1GB RAM.
It is definitely not our case.

An explanation:
The HIGMEM patches were introduced to allow kernel addresses to be
more than 1 GB of virtual addresses and to use more than 1 GB of
physical memory. This is because the kernel directly maps all
available kernel virtual space addresses to the available physical
memory.
