We don't particularly need it for the nommu case, it's just using the
default PAGE_SIZE case there. The primary reason for having it defined
is so we can use the same cache alias checking and d-cache purging code
on parts that can operate with or without the MMU enabled.

So it would be nice to have the variable generally accessible regardless
of CONFIG_MMU setting, rather than having to have a private definition
for the nommu case.
