The usual way to do this is as follows:
#include <linux/const.h>

#define PAGE_SHIFT   12
#define PAGE_SIZE    (_AC(1, UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK    (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))

_AC(1, UL) expands to 1 for assembler and 1UL for C code.

This is also what was suggested above.

Please follow this scheme for nios2 too.
