Hummph, I hope that's true of every other distro that people use UML on.

Send patches.
BTW, the important thing about PAGE_SIZE in the userspace side of UML
is not that it be the same as sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) but that it match
the value of PAGE_SIZE in the kernelspace side. Obviously, these
values will all be the same everywhere that we care about now, but I
can think of one or two situations where it would matter. On an
architecture with a variable page size, the UML kernel can have a
PAGE_SIZE of 64K but the host's sysconf can report a page size of 4K.
In this case, it's important that PAGE_SIZE in UML userspace code be
64K.
So, there's UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE in kern_constants.h which is derived
from the kernel's PAGE_SIZE and is usable in userspace files. Use
that instead of sysconf().
