Why the coding style in include/linux/page-flags.h is Camel Case? It
is so ugly and uncoordinated.
consider it as blessing in disguise :) throw some patches to fix them
to LKML and see how others think about it....
This code has been around for a long time, so there may be quite some
out-of-tree drivers/patches depending on the spelling, and as with
every (?) API the change should be done through
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt.

But now that we have Coccinelle[1], it might turn out to be quite easy
to get rid of this camel-case spelling.

Btw, if you set off a discussion on the lkml regarding this, please CC me :).
