I was panicing for a minute when I saw that __SetPageUptodate() in there.
Conventionally the __SetPageFoo namespace is for nonatomic updates to
page->flags. Can we call this something different?
Duh, of course, sorry.
What a fugly patchset :(
Fugly problem. One could fix it by always locking the page, but I was
worried about Hugh flaming me if I tried that ;)
