Sorry for not piping up in that earlier thread, but I don't understand
Andrew's reasoning on this: it looks to me like unhelpful churn rather
than improvement (and I suspect your heart is not in it either, Mel).

It's true that sometimes we name things object_verb() and sometimes we
name things verb_object(), but we're always going to be inconsistent on
that, and this patch does not change the fact: page_mapcount_reset()
but set_page_private() (named by one akpm, I believe)?

Being English, I really prefer verb_object(); but there are often
subsystems or cfiles where object_verb() narrows the namespace more
nicely.

xchg_page_last_nid() instead of page_xchg_last_nid(), to match
reset_page_last_nid(): I think that would be a fine change.

page_nid_xchg_last() to exchange page->_last_nid?  You jest, sir!
