index is the last thing printed on this line.  If it's something like
index:0x12345678, you can reduce it mod 1<<order, as printed on the next
line.

How about ...
[   38.049155] flags: 0x17ffe000000000e(anon|referenced|uptodate|dirty|compound)

That is, change pageflag_names[] to print 'head' as 'compound' and move the
'anon' or 'ksm' to look like a pageflag.  Also CMA.  Like this:

Can also delete the 'out_mapping' label this way.

(I really like it that we're debating this ... it feels like we've been
in a bit of a push-pull with the debug patches over the years)
