Replace explicit definitions of page flags through the use of macros.
Significantly reduces the size of the definitions and removes a lot of
opportunity for errors. Additonal page flags can typically be generated
with a single line.

This is what I was on about earlier with some flag comments being in a

would have a bad day.

Seems to be a tiny inconsistency here. PageSwapCache below is a static
inline returning 0 that you fixed up as part of the shuffling where as
PageHighMem is #defined to 0. Care to fix it up too?

It's been around for ages and unrelated to your patch series but it
looks odd that set_page_writeback() is simply a function alias that
ignores return values :/

These aliases seem to be not a good thing. PG_pinned etc are never used.
Greeping for SetPagePinned etc may be better.

Yes its strange. Is there a set_page_writeback function?

I guess it's a question of taste. I would prefer all the flags that
exist to be named in the one place so all the comments are there.
However, functionally it's identical no harm.

Other than this inline, none that I spotted. It has a number of call-sites
though so I guess the intention was to implicitly document that ignoring
the return value was deliberate. Might as well leave it.
