The thing is that "PageReserved" on a random page tells us that the
values in the memmap cannot be trusted (in some scenarios).

However, we also expose flags for reserved pages via stable_page_flags()
- /proc/kpageflags. As this is just a debugging mechanism, I think it
makes sense to also print them.
