If someone files a bug report that lowmem pressure is higher on their
32-bit NUMA machine I would be a bit surprised. Maybe abusers of NUMA
care but screw it.

The move to page-flags-layout.h should have been a separate patch!
Figuring out what you actually added to the layout is going to be a
complete headache (headache was not the first word I was going to use).
In other words I did not try very hard and I'll just be scanning for
something obvious.

Why is LAST_NID_PGSHIFT != NODES_PGSHIFT?
Oh, it more or less is but it's hidden. Screw that, get rid of
LAST_NIFT_SHIFT WIDTH and express this entirely in terms of NODES_PFSHIFT
and friends.

This opens a very small window where this function messed up the flags
and fixes them up very shortly afterwards. For most page flags it will
not matter but potentially causes weirdness with the extended page
flags or are we protected by something else?
