I like the patch because of the consistency in output and think it's worth 
the extra 1% .text size.

My only concern is the generic naming of the enum members.  
memory-failure.c is already an offender with "enum outcome" and the naming 
of its members.

Would you mind renaming these to be prefixed with "MSG_"?

These enums should be anonymous, too, nothing is referencing enum outcome 
or your new enum page_type.
