/* This file defines the macro:

   PAGE_COPY_FWD_MAYBE (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)

   which is invoked like WORD_COPY_FWD et al.  The pointers should be at
   least word aligned.  This will check if virtual copying by pages can and
   should be done and do it if so.

   System-specific pagecopy.h files should define these macros and then
   #include this file:

   PAGE_COPY_THRESHOLD
   -- Minimum size for which virtual copying by pages is worthwhile.

   PAGE_SIZE
   -- Size of a page.

   PAGE_COPY_FWD (dstp, srcp, nbytes_left, nbytes)
   -- Macro to perform the virtual copy operation.
   The pointers will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE bytes.
