Both 4K and 64K pages are supported on powerpc. Parts of
the selftest code perform alignment computations based on
the PAGE_SIZE macro which is currently hardcoded to 64K
for powerpc. This causes some test failures on kernels
configured with 4K page size.

This problem is solved by determining the correct page
size during the build process rather than hardcoding it
in the header file.

Doing it at build time is wrong, the test could be built on a 4K system
and then run on a 64K system, or vice versa.

You should just use getpagesize() at runtime.

The reason I chose to do it this way was because PAGE_SIZE also determines
the alignment for the function "lots_o_noops_around_write" (which is used
by some of the test cases). Since __attribute__((__aligned__(X))) requires
X to be a constant, I am not sure if there a way around this.
