Subject: [PATCH] Remove macro MAXHOSTNAMELEN from <asm-generic/param.h>.

Since nothing in the entire tree makes use of this macro, remove it.
This removal should eventually propagate to all of the arch-specific
param.h files.

  from the earlier discussion, no one provided any compelling reason
to retain this macro.  i'll eventually simplify the rest of the
param.h files similarly.  the fact that this macro is currently
exported to user space doesn't seem like any argument to keep it.
