Leaving how many? fs-cache wants to take two more.
How's about we actually work this out, then make PG_waiters the
highest-numbered free one?
PG_free1,
PG_free2,
...
PG_waiters
};
(or even something really sensitive, like PG_lru)
So that
a) we can see how many are left in a robust fashion and
b) we find out whether PG_waiters (PG_lru?) gets scribbled on by architectures
which borrow upper bits from page.flags for other nefarious purposes.
