I since dropped it and just open-coded it in the one place it was being
used. If it had been used in more places I would have stubbed it in the
asm/ version after the asm-generic include.

I'd say the simplest is to stay with powers of 2 unless you have a size
that is used in more than one place. If ARM uses SZ_48M commonly then
there's certainly a good case for adding it generically.
