I'm hoping that kbuild gets asm-generic support sometime soon so files
with only a "#include <asm-generic/*>" are generated instead of living
in the tree. In that case I'd rather have the non power of 2 constants
added to the generic sizes.h and be done with it. There isn't any strong
technical reason to deny power of 2 constants from the generic header,
right?

Note: SH could also move to this if SZ_26M is put in the generic header.
