Great. We can add more meta information easily in the feature.
And it also makes the code more readable. Thanks.

IMHO, can we rename it to HPG_restore_reserve? I just want to
make the name consistent with the page flags (see enum pageflags
in include/linux/page-flags.h).

May we also should add a __NR_HPAGEFLAGS to indicate
how many bits that we already used. And add a BUILD_BUG_ON
to check whether the used bits exceed sizeof(unsigned long).
Although it is not necessary now. If we can check it, I think it
would be better.
