Could I perhaps get a steer on which would be more likely to be accepted / preferred? Either way, we'd want to expose the resulting flag somewhere within pagemap. We could do this either within the normal flags region, or potentially even repurpose one of the (now censored) physical bits. If there's a general feeling then I'll update my work-in-progress and post it here.
