Since we already have PageSlab: Is it possible to use that flag
differently so that it is maybe something like PageTyped(xx)? I think
there may be some bits available somewhere if PageSlab( is set and these
typed pages usually are not on the lru. So if its untyped the page is on
LRU otherwise the type can be identified somehow?
