        commit d144727bc3e5f77692fc2d6b5c1dbf5d05fc495c

        use getpagesize()

        getpagesize() is said to be more portable than
        sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) to anything Linux.

        this patch helps klibc porting effort as the sysconf multiplex
        API is not supported there.

 
 if you *really* want to port util-linux-ng to any other OS you need
 to add a fallback for getpagesize() to lib/.

 Note that portability to non-Linux system is not our primary goal.
