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.
