You mean the eHEA has its own concept of page size? Separate from
the

page size used by the MMU?
yes, the eHEA currently supports only 4K pages for queues
In that case, I suggest use the kernel's page size, but add a
compile-time
check, and quit with an error message if driver does not support it.
eHEA does support other page sizes than 4k, but the HW interface expects to
see 4k pages
The adaption is done in the device driver, therefore we have a seperate 4k
define.
Fair enough. You seem to only use it in drivers/net/ehea/ehea_qmr.c, if
so put the definition in there, that way someone is less likely to use
the EHEA_PAGESIZE definition where they really need PAGE_SIZE.
