PATCH 1/1 powerpc: export copy_page() on 32bit

Export copy_page() on 32bit powerpc; unionfs needs it.

Unionfs already builds as a module on 64bit powerpc, so the export is placed within an existing CONFIG_PPC32 #ifdef.

I ran into this in the -mm tree; it's not new to 2.6.24-rc6-mm1.

I haven't been able to find any evidence that copy_page() is exported with 64bit; maybe this is because copy_page there is a wrapper around the exported copy_4K_page() and gets optimized away, or maybe I just don't know where to look.

If copy_page() is exported for 64bit somewhere, this might not be the right thing?
