All of that said, I am not even sure we have a bit left in the page

How about
#define PG_checked 8 /* kill me in 2.5.<early>. */

At least PG_uncached isn't used on many architectures too, so could
be reused. I don't know why those that use it don't check VMAs instead.
PG_unchecked appears to be totally unused. It's only users are the macros
that manipulate the bit and mm/page_alloc.c . It appears it has been a
long time since it was used to it is a canditate for reuse.
Considering memory hotplug, I don't want to resize bitmaps at hot-add/remove.
no bitmap is welcome :)
