I liked earlier approach with only struct page here. Once we know a field
should never be referenced from raw struct page, we can move it here.

But feel free to ignore my suggestion. It's not show-stopper for me and
reverting is back doesn't worth it.

I went through the patchset and it looks good. You can use my

on all of them.
