Yes, here comes comment. :-) A naming choice here:
        - define structure page_info in mm.h, and define page as a macro to 
page_info, which sticks to xen's convention since all other places 
(common, x86 specific, etc) are referred by page_info
        - Or define structure page in mm.h, as what you're approaching, 
which towards linux style since we have still a set of linux files copied 
there

Yes, nothing differed in final binary, however to me it's more natural for 
first option, since gradually we'll remove all unnecessary linux stuff. Patch
to remove using "page" may be more welcomed instead...

Thanks,
Kevin
