: They are identical. I looked at other architectures and it seems that
: PGSHIFT is a macro defined for mips alone. The same is true for
: PGOFSET and PAGE_MASK.
: 
: So I went with the obvious macro - PAGE_SHIFT.

: I think we should toast PGSHIFT and PGOFFSET and replace them with
: PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_MASK respectively. What do you think?

This sounds like a good cleanup item...
