Hmm, just for consistency sake, can we create a:

 #define __DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(_name) { 1UL <<  __PG_##_name, __stringify(_name) }

Which is similar to:

 #define DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(_name) { 1UL <<  PG_##_name, __stringify(_name) }

But adds the "__" to the name. Then the above would look like:

	DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(reserved),					\
	__DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(folio),					\
	DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(private_2),					\
	DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME(writeback),					\

Where the __DEF_PAGEFLAG_NAME() with the "__" still stands out, but the
code looks better than open coding it in the middle and making one wonder
why it was open coded. (It took me a bit to noticed the "__" difference.)
