Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/5] introduce TASK_SIZE_OF() for all arches


For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how
much virtual address space a particular task has.  The trick is
that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it
references "current" on some arches.  The process opening the
/proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's
pagemap file.

x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro:

#define TASK_SIZE_OF(child)     ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64)

I'd like to have that for other architectures.  So, add it
for all the architectures that actually use "current" in 
their TASK_SIZE.  For the others, just add a quick #define
in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE.
