According to the upstream perl-bug report [1], <asm/page.h> was included to get the definition of getpagesize() a long time ago. Once the prototype for getpagesize() got moved into <unistd.h>, <asm/page.h> was no longer necessary, but it never got removed. (It sounds like no Perl version ever used PAGE_SIZE, in other words. It sounds like they all used the proper getpagesize() function, they just got it from different places.) Removing it is safe according to the rationale there. (There is a concern about older glibc versions in that thread, with no response. But that doesn't apply to us.)
