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.
