Subject: [rfc 07/10] Pageflags: Get rid of FLAGS_RESERVED

NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using.
>From that we can calculate the number of bits leftover that can
be used for zone, node (and maybe the sections id). There is
no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use NR_PAGEFLAGS.

Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via
the preprocessor. NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field
boundaries in the page flags fields. These field widths have
to be available to the preprocessor.
