[PATCH] Do not export PAGE_SIZE to userspace.

Userspace should use getpagesize() or sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) to get memory
page size.

man 2 getpagesize:
... Generally, one uses  binaries  that are architecture but not machine
model dependent, in order to have a single binary distribution per
architecture. This means that a user program should not find PAGE_SIZE at
compile time from a header file, but use an actual system call, at least
for those architectures (like sun4)  where this dependency exists.
