Subject: [PATCH 1/3] page-flags: record page flag overlays explicitly


Some page flags are used for more than one purpose, for example
PG_owner_priv_1.  Currently there are individual accessors for each user,
each built using the common flag name far away from the bit definitions.
This makes it hard to see all possible uses of these bits.

Now that we have a single enum to generate the bit orders it makes sense
to express overlays in the same place.  So create per use aliases for
this bit in the main page-flags enum and use those in the accessors.
