Why do we need 64bit per page to indicate just idle or not?

I don't think we need this, actually. I made this file 64 bit per page
only to conform to other /proc/kpage* files. Currently, I can't think of
any potential use for residual 63 bits, so personally I'm fine with 1
bit per page. If nobody comes with an idea about how > 1 bits could be
used, I'll switch /proc/kpageidle to a bitmask in the next iteration.

Thanks,
Vladimir
