This isn't a standard SoB line. Please choose an email address and lose the

Can you be more specific about why we need this please? We don't seem to use
this on ARM, and I can't really think of a sensible value to define it as,
either. PAGE_OFFSET is a virtual address, which doesn't make much sense to
me, but perhaps I'm missing something.
