Might be worth mentioning that these are xarray marks for the inserted
entry, since this comment didn't help much.

Urk, two flags arguments.  Oh, I see.  We insert (shifted) pfn_t values
into the mapping as xarray values, so @flags determines the state flags
of the new entry value, whereas @insert_flags determines what xarray
mark we're going to attach (if any) to the inserted value.
