That doesn't really answer my question, why you need this.

Why is this worse? These are constants, you're not supposed to change them 
anyway.
The remaining values are generated in page.h and should be the same as 
before. If that isn't the case and this patch produces a nonworking 
kernel, I'd like to hear about it.

You're right the built kernel is fine. So it's not a bug,

Good, could someone please ack whether the powerpc changes are acceptable?

but I think it is nicer to have the real values in the .config.

Why?

bye, Roman
