It would be good to have it included for all architectures.
It really has nothing arch specific in it so it ought to live in
include/linux:

git mv include/asm-generic include/linux
And a fix for the archs that will be broken by this.
A small wrapper in arch/$ARCH/include/asm could do the trick


And speaking of this file I sometime have missed:
#define SZ_1K_BITS 10
#define SZ_2K_BITS 11

Or something similar.
