Yuck. Missed that one in the control file. Insert this patch before this 
one.



Variable Order Page Cache: Add functions to establish sizes

We use the macros PAGE_CACHE_SIZE PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT PAGE_CACHE_MASK
and PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN in various places in the kernel. These are now
the base page size but we do not have a means to calculating these
values for higher order pages.

Provide these functions. An address_space pointer must be passed
to them.

New function			Related base page constant
---------------------------------------------------
page_cache_shift(a)		PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
page_cache_size(a)		PAGE_CACHE_SIZE
page_cache_mask(a)		PAGE_CACHE_MASK
page_cache_align(addr,a)	PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(addr)
