Do you mean writing page-flags.h specific for i386 so improving generic
code
and without breaking other architectures ?
I meant improving the i386 bitops specific code.
However if there is some variant of operation that is not captured
with the current bitop API, but could provide a useful speedup of
common page flag manipulations, then you might consider extending
the bitop API and making page-flags.h use that new operation.
