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.
