PageUncached      375 include/asm-ia64/uaccess.h 	if (PageUncached(page))
PageUncached      393 include/asm-ia64/uaccess.h 	if (PageUncached(page))

This is used by /dev/mem


PageChecked       196 fs/afs/dir.c   		if (!PageChecked(page))
PageChecked       169 fs/ext2/dir.c  		if (!PageChecked(page))
