I have an idea ...

We use 6 of the bits in the top byte of the page_type to enumerate
a type (ie value 0x80-0xbf) and then the remaining 24 bits are
available.  It's actually more efficient:

$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter prev.o .build-debian/mm/filemap.o 
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-40 (-40)
Function                                     old     new   delta
__filemap_add_folio                         1102    1098      -4
filemap_unaccount_folio                      455     446      -9
replace_page_cache_folio                     474     447     -27
Total: Before=41258, After=41218, chg -0.10%

(that's all from PG_hugetlb)

before:
    1406:       8b 46 30                mov    0x30(%rsi),%eax
                mapcount = atomic_read(&folio->_mapcount) + 1;
    1409:       83 c0 01                add    $0x1,%eax
                if (mapcount < PAGE_MAPCOUNT_RESERVE + 1)
    140c:       83 f8 81                cmp    $0xffffff81,%eax
    140f:       7d 6c                   jge    147d <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x8d>
    1411:       8b 43 30                mov    0x30(%rbx),%eax
    1414:       25 00 08 00 f0          and    $0xf0000800,%eax
    1419:       3d 00 00 00 f0          cmp    $0xf0000000,%eax
    141e:       74 4e                   je     146e <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x7e>

after:
    1406:       8b 46 30                mov    0x30(%rsi),%eax
                mapcount = atomic_read(&folio->_mapcount) + 1;
    1409:       83 c0 01                add    $0x1,%eax
                if (mapcount < PAGE_MAPCOUNT_RESERVE + 1)
    140c:       83 f8 81                cmp    $0xffffff81,%eax
    140f:       7d 63                   jge    1474 <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x8
4>
        if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio))
    1411:       80 7b 33 84             cmpb   $0x84,0x33(%rbx)
    1415:       74 4e                   je     1465 <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x75>

so we go from "mov, and, cmp, je" to just "cmpb, je", which must surely
be faster to execute as well as being more compact in the I$ (6 bytes vs 15).

Anyway, not tested but this is the patch I used to generate the above.
More for comment than application.
