The page size is 1 as there is no MMU and in the documentation I looked at 
there didn't seem to be any particular value it would be sensible to use 
as a standard page size.  So whether the size is 1 for uClinux would 
probably depend on whether the kernel establishes a conventional value it 
treats as a page size in a way that's relevant to userspace.
