I checked ia64, but couldn't find it before.  Now I found it.  The
ifdef is on LOG2_PAGE_SIZE (default 13 for 8K-pages).  This gives a
compile-time constant for PAGE_SIZE.  ogetpagesize() and the sysctl
HW_PAGESIZE return this constant.  So it may vary with the kernel in
userland, and userland would be broken if it used PAGE_SIZE from the
host include files.

LOG2_PAGE_SIZE was a supported global option, but this doesn't work in
modules.  No options work in modules, but this one is more fundamental
than most.  So it was probably necessary to compile all modules after
editing the default in the source file.  opt_global.h is even more
unusable in userland, but editing the source file works for userland too.
