+/* 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.
