This was not the question. There are only 4 references of it in the whole tree:
Two of them are in comments:
./arch/arm/arm32/arm32_machdep.c: bufpages = integer;*/
./arch/powerpc/oea/oea_machdep.c: * the bufpages are allocated in case they overlap since it's not
One of them is valid used for debugging:
./arch/sun2/sun2/machdep.c: bufpages = 37;
One of them is bogus, appears to be using the wrong variable:
./compat/irix/irix_sysmp.c: irm->bufmem = bufpages;
I don't think that one use of this variable in the whole tree is enough
to justify its existance in the header file.
