Will or Catalin, does this look ok to you?

Subject: fix COMPAT_SHMLBA definition for large pages
From: Yury Norov <ynorov@...iumnetworks.com>

ARM glibc uses (4 * __getpagesize()) for SHMLBA, which is correct for 4KB pages
and works fine for 64KB pages, but the kernel uses a hardcoded 16KB that
is too small for 64KB page based kernels. This changes the definition to
what user space sees when using 64KB pages.
