Both 4K and 64K pages are supported on powerpc. Parts of the selftest code perform alignment computations based on the PAGE_SIZE macro which is currently hardcoded to 64K for powerpc. This causes some test failures on kernels configured with 4K page size.
In some cases, we need to enforce function alignment to page size. Since this can only be done at build time, 64K is used as the alignment factor as that ensures 4K alignment as well.
