I'm not going to apply this one for the following reason: those macros
actually are page-size _codes_ for the PTEs. Yes, the codes happen to
be equal to the log2() of the page-size, but this isn't necessarily
so. It's probably unlikely this will ever change, but unless it's
nailed down by the architecture somewhere (I don't think it is), I'd
like to leave that distinction. Subtle as it may be.
