[PATCH] cleanup page flags
page->flags cleanup. Moves the definitions of the page->flags bits and all the PageFoo macros into linux/page-flags.h. That file is currently included from mm.h, but the stage is set to remove that and include page-flags.h direct in all .c files which require that. (120 of them). The patch also makes all the page flag macros and functions consistent: For PG_foo, the following functions are defined: SetPageFoo ClearPageFoo TestSetPageFoo TestClearPageFoo PageFoo and that's it. - Page_Uptodate is renamed to PageUptodate - LockPage is removed. All users updated to use SetPageLocked - UnlockPage is removed. All callers updated to use unlock_page(). it's a real function - there's no need to hide that fact. - PageTestandClearReferenced renamed to TestClearPageReferenced - PageSetSlab renamed to SetPageSlab - __SetPageReserved is removed. It's an infinitesimally small microoptimisation, and is inconsistent. - TryLockPage is renamed to TestSetPageLocked - PageSwapCache() is renamed to page_swap_cache(), so it doesn't pretend to be a page->flags bit test.
