Re: [PATCH] remove PAGE_SIZE from headers_install

Declare PAGE_SIZE as getpagesize() for userspace.
PAGE_SIZE is used in resource.h and shm.h

define PAGE_SIZE in asm-generic/page.h
guard get_order() with _ARCH_HAS_GET_ORDER for ia64 and xtensa
include asm-generic/page.h in asm/page.h
make asm/page.h nearly empty by moving the #ifdef guards up
remove unneeded page.h export from frv

imo, asm/page.h should just go away for userspace.  the attached patch
is what i've been using in Gentoo ... but somethings (like an arch or
two in glibc) still assume asm/page.h is OK.  in general though,
considering asm/page.h has become so unreliable lately (a large number
of arches ifdef the whole thing out), most packages out there have
updated already to use the userspace interface from unistd.h.
