Adding fast code paths to handle specifically only get and/or clear
operation of PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, increases its performance by 0-35%.
The results of some test cases are given below:
Test-case-1
t1 = (Get + WP) time
t2 = WP time
t1 t2
Without this patch: 140-170mcs 90-115mcs
With this patch: 110mcs 80mcs
Worst case diff: 35% faster 30% faster
Test-case-2
t3 = atomic Get and WP
t3
Without this patch: 120-140mcs
With this patch: 100-110mcs
Worst case diff: 21% faster

8 8192 3 1 0 and 8 8192 3 1 1 arguments have been used to produce the
above mentioned results.
Changes in v29:
- Minor updates in flush logic following the original patch
