_PAGE_SPECIAL is overloading _PAGE_UNUSED1. Does it really leave
_PAGE_UNUSED1 available for other uses, or does it become an exclusive
user of that flag. Under what circumstances can they be shared?
arch/x86/mm/pageattr-test.c is now using _PAGE_UNUSED1 as the flag used
to make sure that huge pages are shattered properly (previously it used
_PAGE_GLOBAL). Is that going to clash with _PAGE_SPECIAL?
In other words, should we drop _PAGE_UNUSED1 altogether, or at least
define how the its different users can coexist?
Am I right in supposing that _PAGE_SPECIAL can only be set on user pages?
(Also, "SPECIAL" is awfully generic. Was there really no more
descriptive name for this?)
