I consider the current sysconf() interface infinitely yucky. It was a very
painful experience going through the code to fix up the stuff to use the
new mm interfaces in early 2.1.x. It's trying to be way too generic for
very little gain.
I much prefer a "getpagesize()" system call on architectures that need it,
instead of needlessly polluting some configuration space.
