As this output is meant to be taken as a block, it might be more legible
if each line after the first was indented by a space to make that instantly
clear by sight (as git does when generating the list of changed files above)
and perhaps add a prefix/suffix to make the "dumped because" line stand out
a bit more.

A space between the value and flags in the "flags:" would also be nice.

This would then look something like:

page:000000006d1c49ca refcount:6 mapcount:0 mapping:00000000136b8d90 index:0x109 pfn:0x6c645
 head:000000008bd38076 order:2 compound_mapcount:0 compound_pincount:0
 aops:xfs_address_space_operations ino:800042 dentry name:"fd"
 flags: 0x4000000000012014 (uptodate|lru|private|head)
 raw: 4000000000000000 ffffd46ac1b19101 ffffffff00000202 dead000000000004
 raw: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000

 >> page dumped because: testing <<

However I realize this would mean making changes to things you haven't modified
as part of this patch, so feel free to put my suggestion on the back burner
for now if you like.
