Make x86 EFI code works when EFI_PAGE_SHIFT != PAGE_SHIFT. The

This patch has been tested on Intel x86_64 platform with EFI 64/32
firmware.
this is mostly cosmetic, isnt it - because currently nobody expects
EFI_PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SHIFT to ever change on x86, right? I've queued
up your patch for 2.6.26, ok?
There keeps being a lot of talk about a larger x86 pagesize, either
involving future hardware support or via page clustering in the kernel.
Going beyond a 48-bit address space (in long mode) may mean increasing
the page size.
