Here's the latest version I have, with much improved help text, thanks to Christoph Lameter. ----- * Add _ALIGN_UP() which we'll use now and _ALIGN_DOWN(), just for parity. * Define ASM_CONST() macro to help using constants in both assembly and C code. Several architectures have some form of this, and they will be consolidated around this one. * Actually create PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE macros * For now, require that architectures enable GENERIC_PAGE_SIZE in order to get this new code. This option will be removed by the last patch in the series, and makes the series bisect-safe. * Note that this moves the compiler.h define outside of the #ifdef __KERNEL__, but that's OK because it has its own.
