- * For pages that are never mapped to userspace,
- * page_type may be used.  Because it is initialised to -1, we invert the
- * sense of the bit, so __SetPageFoo *clears* the bit used for PageFoo, and
- * __ClearPageFoo *sets* the bit used for PageFoo.  We reserve a few high and
- * low bits so that an underflow or overflow of _mapcount won't be
- * mistaken for a page type value.
+ * For pages that do not use mapcount, page_type may be used.
+ * The low 24 bits of pagetype may be used for your own purposes, as long
+ * as you are careful to not affect the top 8 bits.  The low bits of
+ * pagetype will be overwritten when you clear the page_type from the page.
