[PATCH 1/3] mm: Minor clean-up of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c v5

From: Russ Anderson
Date: Fri May 16 2008 - 15:22:57 EST


Minor source code cleanup of page flags in mm/page_alloc.c.
Move the definition of the groups of bits to page-flags.h.

The purpose of this clean up is that the next patch will
conditionally add a page flag to the groups. Doing that
in a header file is cleaner than adding #ifdefs to the
C code.
