I have always assumed that PAGE_SIZE in the bootmem allocator was
hardware page size; such that if software PAGE_SIZE was to change that
it would necessarily be replaced with two different constants. But fair
enough. In that case perhaps we should at least fix the code indent
etc. Revised patch below.
