When I studied the code of mm/swap, I found "1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 9)" appears
many times. So I try to clean up it.

1. Replace "1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 9)" or similar with SECTORS_PER_PAGE
2. Replace "PAGE_SHIFT - 9" with SECTORS_PER_PAGE_SHIFT
3. Replace "9" with SECTOR_SHIFT
4. Replace "512" with SECTOR_SIZE

No functional change.

Zhen Lei (4):
  block: Move SECTORS_PER_PAGE and SECTORS_PER_PAGE_SHIFT definitions
    into <linux/blkdev.h>
  mm/swap: use SECTORS_PER_PAGE_SHIFT to clean up code
  block: use SECTORS_PER_PAGE_SHIFT and SECTORS_PER_PAGE to clean up
    code
  mtd: eliminate SECTOR related magic numbers

Naive question - what is happening about 4096-byte sectors? Do we need 
to forward-plan?

Cheers,

They're fully supported already, but Linux defines a sector to be 512
bytes.  So we multiply by 8 and divide by 8 a few times unnecessarily,
but it's not worth making sector size be a per-device property.

Good thought, though.
