I'd rather see it in some other place than this, because
include/linux/mm.h is a large header that includes quite a lot of
other stuff.  What's wrong with leaving it in each arch's page.h and
only changing it on those archs that have both 32-bit and 64-bit
variants?  Or perhaps there is some other, lower-level header in
include/linux where it could go?

These parts are NAKed, because arch/powerpc/boot is a separate program
that doesn't use the kernel include files.

We had already come across this issue on powerpc, and we fixed it by
making sure that the type of PAGE_MASK was int, not unsigned int.
However, I have no objection to using the ALIGN() macro from
include/linux/kernel.h instead.
