I think you're talking about that PAGE_SIZE could be configured
to have variable size (e.g. 4KB). So it's not safe to pass PAGE_SIZE
to OPAL API opal_pci_get_phb_diag_data2(). Instead, we should pass
PNV_PCI_DIAG_BUF_SIZE and it makes sense to me :-)
Also, it needs to be backported to stable kernel as well.
