Most applications probably use the getpagesize() function, so they should
be fine. libc itself should also be clean.
In the kernel we don't handle this properly yet. There are also some
optimizations which are possible for larger page sizes. IA64 already
has a larger pagesize than Intel, so I hope they have already solve
most of the problems for us.
