Some headers rely on PAGE_* definitions from <asm/page.h>, but cannot include this due to potential circular includes. For example, a number of definitions in <asm/memory.h> rely on PAGE_SHIFT, and <asm/page.h> includes <asm/memory.h>. This requires users of these definitions to include both headers, which is fragile and error-prone. This patch ameliorates matters by moving the basic definitions out to a new header, <asm/page-def.h>. Both <asm/page.h> and <asm/memory.h> are updated to include this, avoiding this fragility, and avoiding the possibility of circular include dependencies.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
