This patch splits out asm-generic/page.h and includes it at the bottom
of all arch specific page.h's.

This approach is more easy and *safe* than move the macros into kernel.h
or other, and also prepares for future. By nested into page.h, we can make
sure it's no problem to simply remove those definitions without adding new
include statements.

Here is it. http://greatcn.org/~coywolf/patches/2.6/share-PFN.patch


btw, these are all identical replacements, except on arm26(Matt Heler 
told me).
Arm26 implementation has done too much on this point.

On arm26:  #define PFN_UP(x) (PAGE_ALIGN(x) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
PAGE_ALIGN is no use here since >> followed
