I just wanted to consistent with other PageXXX flags functions, PageAnon,
PageMappingFlags which returns int rather than bool. Although I agree bool
is natural, I want to be consistent with others rather than breaking at
the moment.

Maybe if you feel it's really helpful, you might be able to handle all
of places I mentioned for better readability and keeping consistency.
But I doubt it's worth.

Thanks.
