I can't see that far ahead too clearly, but I do think that at some
point we'll actually distinguish between folio flags and page flags.
For example, we won't have a FolioHWPoison, because we won't keep a folio
together if one page in it has become defective.  Nor will we have a
PageUptodate because we'll only care about whether a folio is uptodate.
And at that point, we won't want page flag policies.
