I don't like a struct_page.h in addition to page-flags.h.  I had a patch
for early 2.5 that create <linux/page.h> with struct page and stuff that
depends only on it (Test/Set/etc macros).  IHMO that's a nicer split,
but people may flame me for this..

I'm inclinde to resubmit that one after feature freeze.
